I recently started receiving this error. My system is as follows
Athlon X2 4400+
Asus A8N-SLI Premium
eVGA Geforce 6800 Ultra
2x512 OCZ RAM
2x74Gb Raptors in SATA RAID
2xDVD-RW, 1 IDE, 1 SATA (the Sata was the Plextor PX-716SA, just added).
1x Sony FDD
Antec Neo480
The only changes I've made lately have been the addition of the FDD and the Plextor DVD drive.
In addition to the Machine Check Exception error, my computer is now hanging on restart. That is, it will shut down, but not all the way. It won't restart. Even shutting down doesn't shut down the computer all the way, as the fans never stop spinning.
Everything I've read on here seems to indicate a hardware failure and, given my symptoms, a power supply failure.
I'm not overclocking.... could the Neo480 be maxing out?
Also, my temps are running about 47C. A little high, but I could probably organize my cables a bit better.
I'm running memtest now, just to make sure the RAM is okay.
So, too much heat or not enough power?
Thanks,
