I was getting some Blue Screen crashes and suspected my SSD. The manufacturer recommended I upgrade the firmware, which will erase the drive. I did so and re-installed Win 7 and I got another Blue Screen. Can someone who knows about this analyze my mini-dump? The BugCheckCode was 124.

Press the WinKey + Pause
Click Advanced System Settings, Advanced and under Startup and Recovery select Settings.
Uncheck Automatically restart.
Click on the dropdown arrow under Write debugging information.
Select Small memory dump (64 KB) and the output is %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Restart the PC normally as this will allow the System to Blue Screen and create the Minidump.
Minidump Files can be found here. C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini122707-02.dmp
Post the mindump file for analysis.

yes plse, post the dmp file here - just attach as file
did you install all the drivers for the mobo?
many of these errors seem to point to the wireless card -you have one?

I installed the drivers for the MB from the disk that came with the MB. I do have a wireless USB for the network connection. Can you tell me what error points to this?
The dump really doesn't tell us much more than the BSoD code did.
There's a good article here on the sorts of hardware issues to think about (eg dodgy RAM, overheating, overclocking). So start by removing any overclocked settings and test your RAM - eg with MemTest86+.
I removed the wireless network usb and used a network cable instead and had another crash just now. I'm starting to think the crashes are happening on shut down so I'm going to try to make it crash.
We might be getting somewhere. I've run Prime95, Memtest, Memtest86+ and none found any memory issues.
However, I just ran the included Windows Memory Diagnostics and it crashed 2 times in a row. I'm going to run it with only 1 memory stick at a time and see if I can pin down the culprit.

Darn, testing 1 at a time didn't produce any crashes.
>> testing 1 at a time didn't produce any crashes. << it may have been bad contacts; sometimes the sticks "creep" out a bit, and removing and reinstalling them fixes it

Ran MemTest86+ for 5 days with no errors.

time to do the real test again
how often does it crash?
also - look on the net for compatibility problems of that model SSD and the mobo
