does anyone know what this stop error means? I could be surfing the net or i could be doing pretty much anything and this blue screen of death will come up, it has happened to numerous hard drives and it seeme to kill them...does anyone know what thsi means and how to fix it?
 
I dont think its your hard drive but rather your ram. run memtest or prime95 to test.

how does it kill your hard drive? system specs? is it the same one as the one in ur sig? maybe its not the ram :confused:

and wo0t, im a Gawd 512 post today! :D
 
yeah the messagbe does say to disable all cacheind ect. and its the same system in the sig.

ill run memtest eventually.

Here are the cliff notes ")


Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions: • You are running the processor or mainboard beyond its specifications. For example, you are overclocking the processor or bus. We recommend that you run your hardware at the manufacturer-rated speeds.
• Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
• Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
• You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer.
