BSOD and rebooting still!

[Penfolds5]

Hello, me again with the same problem :(

For months now i've had this BSOD problem and sometimes rebooting by itself.
It happens wile playing games, coding video and much more. Even just browsing the net.

The error is MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
***STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000000, 0x8054DA70, 0xb2000000, 0x1040080f)

I've had all my hardware replaced. Even tried UPs incase it was the house power. I just got the computer back from the shop after the CPU was replaced.

So i'm thinking maybe its a driver or some software installed.

I've look high and low all over the internet for a fix.
Tried looking at the microsoft website, list of programs windows is known to not like.

Its really got me confushed. :confused:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329284 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.Note Your hardware may support additional error logging features that capture the machine check exception and suggest a more specific solution.

yeah thanks but i've seen that 50 times. Doesn't help. I think the computer shop would've checked all those.

Your CPU (Central Processing Unit) is reporting to Windows XP that you have a hardware error. And neither Windows XP, or any other software and/or software setting can fix it. The failing/failed hardware will need to be repaired or replaced.

A machine check exception occurs when Windows XP and your hardware platform cannot recover from a hardware error. This occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP. To do this, the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of some Pentium Pro processors.

The following factors may cause this error message: System bus errors, Memory errors, CPU cache errors, CPU TLB errors, CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems or other vendor-specific detected hardware problem.

More specific diagnosis of machine check exceptions is difficult, and there is no general solution. If possible, you might start by testing the RAM and CPU in another computer.

I've had all my hardware replaced.
what specific hardware has been replaced?

[Penfolds5]

SpywareDr as Chris Wolf quoted. I've had ALL my hardware replaced.
And Chris Wolf.. please look at what you just quoted also!
ALL my hardware has been replaced.

So everything in my sig. Except if you wanna be technical about it. My monitor, keyboard, mouse, modem and computer case haven't been replaced.
But i use different plug in things at my parents house comparied to living with my girl friend. So it can't be those parts.

Sorry if i sound rude.. i'm not trying to be. Just frustrated.
Thanks,

Ian

if you haven't replaced those items, you haven't replaced all of the hardware. you've said nothing so far about replacing the power supply. have you at least tried removing the modem?

[Penfolds5]

tried different monitor, keyboard, mouse, modem and replaced the power supply.

[Penfolds5]

even tried the computer with nothing but the monitor, keyboard and mouse

Has Windows been reinstalled since the hardware has been changed? Also, what are the temps like? You can check the temps with this nice utility:

Yeah i've reinstalled windows a few times since. I've got a funny feeling its nero image drive thats been the problem all this time. But i won't go by that untill the computer hasn't blue screened for a month after unstalling nero image drive.

For those who don't know, image drive is a fake CD/DVD drive for putting images of CD's/DVD's in it. Thus acting like a fake drive.
My temps are:
Mother board: 31c
CPU:32c
hard drive 1 :35c
hard drive 2: 34c
