Hello Everyone,
I had posted here before about receiving the 0X0000009C machine check error. As of today the error has become absolutely unbearable. I have tried everything I could think of to fix this error.
First I bought new RAM and this did not work. Then I bought a new hard drive and tried to reinstall windows. This also did not work, and the installation of windows kept freezing. I then tried a new power supply and this also did not work. Finally I tried installing a new video card (Nvida 7200GS was the video card I bought) in the separate PCI express slot on my computer. This initially appeared to work as I was able to reinstall windows without any freezing. However, as I was installing the drivers, I once again received the dreaded machine check exception error.
My computer is a gateway 5082:
Here is a link where the manufacture has my drivers:

and here is a description of my computer:

As of this time I do not have any mini-dumps to post, but If absolutely needed I can try and find some. I was told by a technician at work that there is probably something wrong with either the motherboard or the CPU. However he ran a test (I'm not sure what it was I think it was Memtest) and everything appeared to be fine.
I know that machine check errors are hard to diagnose. However I am desperate for any suggestions. I respect the advice on this forum and will appreciate any solutions given. Thanks!
