I installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32-bit on my Acer Aspire 4520 notebook. Whenever I am installing software, surfing the internet or watching a video online, the system occasionally crashes with bugcheck code 0x124.

Since the original memory stick had some hardware errors (tested using Memtest86+), I replaced it with a 2GB Kingston memory stick. However the problem still remains after the replacement.

Can someone figure the problem out for me?

Here is my bugcheck dump:

    Its an uncorrectable hardware fault, start by updating all your hardware drivers...http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff557321(v=VS.85).aspx – Moab Apr 21 '11 at 14:50

Try !analyze -v for more information, as I feel some information misses.

Other than that, the error is what it says. You need to start troubleshooting hardware...
