Alright I keep getting the MEGA BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH Dont know if this will help but heres the code...

***STOP 0X0000009C (0X00000004, 0X80545FFQ, 0XB2000000, 0X00070F0F)

I have an AMD 64BIT 3200+ 2.06GIG
ABIT GURU Motherboard

1.00GIG DDR DUAL RAM 400 I was getting blue screen before i and after i added this.

2x 250GB RAID =500GB VIDEO EDITING
2 200GB VIDEO EDITING
1 40GB SYSTEM FILES ON THIS ONE

Three Video Cards
One AGP NVIDIA 5500FX 250MB DDR
One Geforce 3 64MBDDR PCI
One Abit PCI
Reason behind all the video cards is i have a three monitor DISPLY up easier to editing video

My BIOS is updated to the latest.
I use Vegas Studio 5.0 to edit my videos with. Any ideas what could be causing this?

What does the system dump really mean?

Thanks for you time..


 
Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions: • You are running the processor or mainboard beyond its specifications. For example, you are overclocking the processor or bus. We recommend that you run your hardware at the manufacturer-rated speeds.
• Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
• Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
• You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer."


STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151) ...


 
Thanks for the info!

I think i know what i was doing to make it lock up.

 
killbuzz,

If you could, please explain a bit more.

(I hope you have a huge power supply in that beast!)
 
0x0000009C is a hardware problem (or Windows thinks iit is... which could also be a driver problem). I found a web forum describing exactly the same error code (see 04/04/05 at 19:10:10 entry).

What is common between your setup and the one above is you both have:
AMD CPUs
NVidia video card

Hmmm...
