I've just built myself a lovely machine, but it gives me a bit of grief from time to time...
Here's my specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Clawhammer
2Gb Wintec PC2700
MSI K8N Neo4 Motherboard
Rosewill nVidia 6600GT graphics
1x WD Raptor SATA HDD 34.4Gb
1x Seagate Barracuda IDE HDD 160Gb
Coolermaster Cavalier 3 case
LiteOn DVD-R/RW dual layer burner
350W CoolerMaster PSU (upgrading to 430w soon)
Anyway. I get a BSOD error when I try to run Sisoft's Sandra program on my computer and use the ATA/ATAPI drive info tool to get S.M.A.R.T. info for my HDDs (I use it to monitor their temperature), the error I get is Machine Check Exception, followed by a string of numbers (possibly hex code), I can easilly reproduce the error (just do the steps mentioned above), if y'all need the error code or such. I know its not a memory problem, it *might* be a problem with either my gfx card, or a USB addon card that I have, but I don't think so (those are the only two PCI (PCIE for the gfx card) cards I've got, the rest is integrated..I'm totally stumpped on this, I've no idea wth is wrong....any of you guys think you can help?
