Hi Everybody.
On a number of other forums my first post has been because I bumped in to the forum and was able to help others. Here it's because I bumped in to the forum via Google, but in this case asking for help. I hope I'm welcome.
My system:
The problem:
My system has been rock steady since purchase a year ago, but after installing a new Soundblaster Audigy SE soundcard a few days ago I immediately started to get regular BSOD Machine Check Errors which are always 0X0000009C (0X00000000, 0XBAB3C050, 0XB2000040, 0X00000800).
I have deinstalled the drivers and physically removed the soundcard, but still the exact same errors happen with great regularity. Sometimes they happen minutes apart, other times tens of minutes. No pattern of problem vs usage has appeared so far, and the BSOD will eventually happen even if the PC is left logged on (to XP) but idling.
I have tried to restore to an earlier checkpoint, but no matter which one I choose fails to restore.
I am therefore high and dry at the moment with an expensive paperweight and hope that somebody far more expert than I may be able to decode the Machine Check Error.
Grateful thanks,
Mach1.02
