Machine_Check_Exception 0x9C?

[ZacharyS]

Yea, I just got that error on my new PC (the one that I've _been_ having problems with) and I've been reading through some links, and apparently that is usually attributed to hardware problems. The BSOD didn't show exaclty what had failed (last time I got BSOD it said it was from nv_disp.dll (faulty drivers), but this time it didn't show what caused it.

It only said the usual crap and this:

Machine_Check_Exception

0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x8054D5F0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F5)

I looked in the "Event Viewer" and didn't see a damn thing, so, yea. Any help on how I could figure out exactly what caused the problem? I didn't think I was having hardware problems because I have left it on running dual prime95s and RTHDRIBL overnight multiple times (w/ affinity set, mind you) and it never crashes. However, it just crashed while I was reading in Firefox, I wasn't even doing anything intensive

*sigh* Here's my parts list again:

X2 3800+
7800GT
A8N SLI Premium
2GB XMS
WD 250 SATAII
Antec TruePower II 550w

Ohhhhhh, my favorite BSOD! Check how snug all your hardware is. You will get that from either:

1) Loose cards etc...

2) Bad Drivers.

3) Overclocking (Which I don't think you're doing)
