Hello and welcome to Techspot.

0x0000009C: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

This is a hardware issue: an unrecoverable hardware error has occurred. The parameters have different meanings depending on what type of CPU you have but, while diagnostic, rarely lead to a clear solution. Most commonly it results from overheating, from failed hardware (RAM, CPU, hardware bus, power supply, etc.), or from pushing hardware beyond its capabilities (e.g., overclocking a CPU).

As you can see from the above. A bugcheck of 9C, is almost always caused by faulty hardware.

Start, by going HERE and following the instructions.

Hi,

Your hardware error code is _VAL_UC_EN_PCC_BUSCONNERR_30F which means time out of Bus and Interconnect Error.

The time out which maybe caused by IDE Drive, M/B or RAM. If yoi overclock the CPU, change it to factory value. Downclock the ram may resolve the machine error problem.

Hi,

This is the time out problem between CPU and the hardware. It maybe ram, motherboard or TV card. Refer the following case, they have exactly the same problem but the faulty hardware is different.
