Hi RextonETS, and welcome to a fellow Texan
BSOD with code 124 is quite common when overclocking. The remedy is usually to increase CPU Core voltage. I know you're not overclocking, but the same fix may be in order since the logger points to a core error.
I'm guessing that BIOS Vcore control is set in offset mode, or perhaps adaptive. The suggestion is to add +.05 additional offset. Even if using manual voltage control, raising Vcore about .05 volts can help.
If BSODs happen less often, but still happen, with that change, try another +.02 volt increase. Heat issues can crop up with an air cooler when Vcore goes over 1.25, so go slow when you get near that level.
Hope this helps

There is also a tendency for CPUs to deteriorate over time. I've seen them do that in a short time - hours - when severely overclocked and loaded in benchmarking. At 3.9GHz stock and voltages under 1.2, degradation isn't noticeable until the sudden onset of BSOD. One year does seem a short time, though.
