My mother just recently got a laptop with Windows 7, for some reason she keeps getting a lot of BSOD, while I am slightly comptuer savy, I'm no where near savy enough to read dump logs or figure out how to troubleshoot a BSOD. (I know nothing about Windows 7 either)
I attached the log and a screenshot of the Motherboard model ect.
Help would be very appreciated.

Hey and welcome.

Unfortunately, all the stop errors are the same 0x124 ones.
0x124 is secret Microsoft code for "Um, this is not good."
Nah, j/k. It does reflect a hardware error however. This is the only crash dump type which can't really be analyzed. 0x124 simply does not specify the nature of the hardware error itself. It could literally be anything in the system.

That being said, in certain instances, drivers can play a cause. I can't even see all of the drivers because the crashes have happened so abruptly. Out of the ones I do see, these are them needing updates or complete removal from the system:

Code:

You can Google the drivers to find out what they are and to try to determine if they are required to have Windows operate well. You can also visit the laptop manufacturer's website to obtain newer drivers for some of them, like the Raid and Storage ones.

Taking that these were 0x124 errors into account, unless you're fairly savvy, you'll probably have better luck simply updating the motherboard to the latest bios available. Then clean install Windows to the hard drive from scratch, while formatting during the process.

There is a strong chance that even doing this is not going to fix the problem, because it really may be hardware. Here is the best technical resource you could possibly find online about the particular error:
