E.E. Gold Edition unable to start the game. BSOD Machine_Check_Exception.

 

I borrowed the game from my father in law he could not get it to work on his computer so I figured I would try my computer.

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.

• Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer.

• Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer.

• You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer.

There are a lot threads about that error pointing to a failing piece of hardware.

 

Even this at MS seems to confirm it: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

 

Have you tried a bunch of other games to make sure its just EE gold doing it?

I am able to play guild Wars. although the screen went all blue could see names of people but nothing else. I restarted the computer and went back inm and played the game for 2 hours straight.

 

I had the CPU OC a little 212 Mhz not even close to going over the limit for an AMD 3500 Venice core. The GPU was not OC. I am thinking it could be the sound card thats the oldest peice of hardware in computer 5 years old at least. Will play some other game Call of Duty and BF2. see how they perform.

 

Bummer don't have time or money to start swapping components.

I recently got a copy of FEAR that I am able to install and run. I can get 70 FPS in FEAR with medium settings. The sound is a bit crackly in some spots with a lot of gun fire. I still cannot play EE. Isn't FEAR a much more demanding game than EE.

Sacred, did U try switching from your pci Sound Card to the one built into the Mobo itself? I'm curious to know if that helps or doesn't.

Hmmm, you might run into an occasional game that does not like components being OC'd at all. I know EE2 behaves fine on my OC'd box, but it couldn't hurt to bring things back in line to factory, if for just one play session.
