Regarding the GPU itself, I didn't see anything related to dxgkrnl indicating the GPU was somehow involved. In particular with the whea uncorrectable error (0x124) or machine check exception (0x9C) the CPU has been commonly a good potential cause. The CPU, although by some possibly considered as the last part that should be tested, is actually one that I have seen causing so many more crashes than the RAM. RAM is actually one of the least potential causes, I have seen RAM cause the problem in less than a couple dozen situations out of hundreds. If it were to be the actual GPU causing issues, commonly crashes wherein the bugcheck code states something like 'video' occurs.

With 0x9F crashes, it is not uncommon for display drivers to cause crashes, but that's still drivers. When it comes to hardware, the hard drive is the number 1 cause mostly identified with events from eventviewer, but it is second after drivers. As someone who has been looking into BSOD crashes for the last few years I can tell you that drivers are by far more often the cause of BSOD than hardware. I'm sorry to say this, but I strongly disagree with your post.
