Sacred Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) Machine Check exception Error when shutting down and in my games like titan quest and NHL 07. Not sure why? Edited November 6, 2006 by Sacred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hmmmmm.... STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151) "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" CAUSE This behavior 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 that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems • Cache errors in the processor or hardware • Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor • Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems • Vendor-specific detected hardware problems BSOD and Machine check exception Problem seems to vary in above thread, from bad sata port, bad sata cable, to changing the HD access type, or updating the m/b bios.

Sacred Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks I am at work but will look at that when get home. at 12:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) So basically almost anything could cause that error. glad I kept my old video card gonna swap that out and see how things go.

B.Ob. Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah, be nice if it was more specific on what the problem was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 going to try my old video card a radeon 8500 64 meg. then see how things go. If I dont have a problem will send my 6800 GS back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If using the 8500 does resolve it, another posibilty is the power supply can't give the video card enough power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically almost anything could cause that error. glad I kept my old video card gonna swap that out and see how things go. From what Bob posted it all seems to relate to a SATA issue. You are not over clocked at all are you? Some sata controllers have real issue with OCing or even aggressive memory timings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 No I am not OC at all. I am not even using the SATA ports at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 now its happening when I shutdown the computer. wondering if my os is having issues some corrupt files or something. might start with a fresh install then troubleshoot the hardware.

Buckett Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 That would seem best. If you have an onboard SATA controller, disable it in the BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Things seemed to be better once I opened the case. I was able to get into NHL 07 and play a few periods. with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, it fears you now that you have direct eye contact with it. Sounds like a heat issue if just opening the case helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 all the fans seem to be working fine though. I can add 2 fans in front to suck in some cool air think that might help. Have 2 fans in rear sucking the warm air out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Was there a program on the CD that came with the motherboard that can measure cpu and m/b temp? That would confirm thats the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
