Random BSOD's

@ketchup79: May be, unfortunately I only have DDR2 memory sticks lying around at home. Could possibly buy one and see if it changes but it depends on what you guys think as you have more knowledge about issues like this.
 
Update: I bought the CX600M and installed it in my PC. Started playing Sleeping Dogs, after about 3 and half hours of playing the game I got another BSOD. Yet again caused by 0x124 and ntoskrnl.exe.

Any further tips on how to solve this?0
(Was planning on getting a new RAM stick and see if it works then, might be better to call the place where I got the GPU from and ask if I can get a new one.)

EDIT: (The Ram choice is between http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m1a1600c10.html and http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Balli...CP8G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006YG9EEW/ref=pd_sxp_f_r And please correct me if I am wrong but isnt the Crucial RAM better even though if I would buy 2 of the Corsair ones?)

@dclive: it said that hal.dll is to blame "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and the code 0x124. Not sure what you are after here. If this is what you are after, good enough. If not, tell me what you are looking for and I will search for it.

@Cr0nJ0b & Anonymouseuser: after running the old GPU at the highest overclock (790 core & 1100 mem) for an hour with furmark running, a movie in the background and the troublesome game as well I got a BSOD. It states that ntoskrnl.exe+80640 (the same error as the new GPU) is to blame, followed by 0x124 and WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I will run the new GPU at those exact clocks and see if it crashes as well, clocks were prety much at the same frequency but results might possibly change.

Help me understand - you're getting BSOD's, and you're still overclocking?
 
No, I am not overclocking atm. I overclocked with my old GPU in order to get to around the same watt usage as with my new GPU.

EDIT: ran WhoCrashed the only difference between the last crash before the PSU swap is that a part of the bugcheck code changed.
New PSU: Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA8007DB2028, 0xB6004000, 0xDC000175)
Old PSU: Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA8007D78028, 0xB6002000, 0xF6000175)

EDIT 2: While being afraid that people will lose hope in me I can not for the love of God figure out how to conclude which parameter 1 code corresponds to my problem. Any guide on this would be greatly appreciated!

Yes (after returning to the same PC) I did have the issues until I stopped playing the games which caused the issues. So now I am "stuck" with nearly every game except 3 games.

What does WhoCrashed say about each of the dumps after you analyze them?
 
I believe this is what you're out for, if not, please specify how to post what you need.
