Phreak9001 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 So I built this new computer for a family member. Anytime I try to boot Windows It goes to the loading screen and right when the little Windows loading screen pops up and does the animation, the machine locks and BSODs saying the following: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error code 0x0000009C Specs/Parts: Mobo: BIOSTAR TA790GX XE AM2+/AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor ADX245OCGQBOX RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBNT HDD: Western Digital AV-GP WD2500AVVS 250GB 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal AV Hard Drive -Bare Drive Power Supply: hec Raptor500 500W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready Passive PFC Power Supply OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM Also, when booting into safe mode, the machine hangs on disk.sys, then spits out the same error code. Could someone please help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Run memtest for an hour or two, see if it brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phreak9001 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Run memtest for an hour or two, see if it brakes. Doesn't seem to want to run the memtest, however, RAM in this machine is interchangeable for RAM in my Desktop, it works fine in my desktop.

sem1845 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 last week I had the same problem. Replaced the HDD and symptoms were gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Have you tried manually setting the voltage and timings? Apparently it uses the below: Timing: 9-9-9-24 Voltage: 1.5V If you still have problems try increasing the timings a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Are you overclocking or have any custom settings in the BIOS? Try resetting the bios to defaults and make sure all the hardware is seated properly. What about SATA drivers too.

Phreak9001 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks for all your help guys, I'm happy to report the problem has been cured. After eliminating the RAM, ODD, Software, etc as the culprit, I switched the CPU out on a whim. Nailed it, CPU was DOA. I appreciate the help though guys.

Mr-Protocol Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 i would try just re-seating the CPU/RAM just to make sure DOA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Re-seat the ram and the CPU and might want to check on the motherboard manufacture if there is any BIOS update to correct compatibility issues. I had similar issues before and the bios update helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
