Hi there,
My relation has asked me to look at her computer as it keeps going to a BSOD. Anyway I have it for 2 days and it has happened on 2 occasions after being on all day. There is no new hardware, no new software, and I am at a a loss as to what can be causing it as there are so many possibilities. HOWEVER, as I am used to opening up desktop/towers etc to take out ram , graphics cards etc to test them I must explain that this is sony vaio all in one pc/monitor ref VGC-VA1. The workings are all in a box underneath the monitor. Anyway thats the background, it has windows xp media centre installed and has an Intel pentium 2.8 ghz processor and ati mobile radion graphics card x700 and just over 1 gig of memory She says it's always going off but like I say it has only happened twice in 2 days. The BSOD reads
MACHINE_CHECK _EXCEPTION and list a STOP 0X0000009C then (0x00000000, 0XF7730050, 0XB2000000, 0X104008OF)
After reading some of the thraeds I downloaded a program called sensor pro and all seems well on the voltage side of things BUT I did notice that the temperature of the hard drive was above what it should be ie 60 C was actually 66C And I am thinking maybe this is it! I notice that you people can seem to "read" the exception numbers and maybe give some clues? Sorry for the long e mail just trying to paint a picture and appreciate any input
Cheers
