Processor related system failure?

[MrPaul]

Debug analysis in .txt file format.. What should I make of this? Is it the processor that is causing the error, or is simply relaying the message?

 Debugging Details:
------------------

   NOTE:  This is a hardware error.  This error was reported by the CPU
   via Interrupt 18.  This analysis will provide more information about
   the specific error.  Please contact the manufacturer for additional
   information about this error and troubleshooting assistance.

   This error is documented in the following publication:

VAL   - MCi_STATUS register is valid
        Indicates that the information contained within the IA32_MCi_STATUS
        register is valid.  When this flag is set, the processor follows the
        rules given for the OVER flag in the IA32_MCi_STATUS register when
        overwriting previously valid entries.  The processor sets the VAL 
        flag and software is responsible for clearing it.

UC    - Error Uncorrected
        Indicates that the processor did not or was not able to correct the 
        error condition.  When clear, this flag indicates that the processor
        was able to correct the error condition.

EN    - Error Enabled
        Indicates that the error was enabled by the associated EEj bit of the
        IA32_MCi_CTL register.

PCC   - Processor Context Corrupt
        Indicates that the state of the processor might have been corrupted
        by the error condition detected and that reliable restarting of the
        processor may not be possible.

PS: I've done 32 passes of Memtest86+ without any results, also tried reseating and switching RAM.

Anybody got anything?

 

[kitty500cat]

It claims to be crashing at intelppm.sys, which is, I think, a processor driver. The 0x9c thinger seems to be saying that it is actually a hardware problem though. I think it's probably a bad processor, but somebody else needs to back me up on that before I can say for sure.

Are you receiving the error directly upon startup, or is it shortly thereafter?? Any post beeps on startup?
