I have an old computer at home which turned haywire on me a couple of months ago. It restarted itself for no apparent reason with no errormessage or anything.

At the time it was running Windows 2000 Pro, so i (naturally) thought it was a windows-problem. I booted it from a live-cd, with no different outcome... It reboots for no apparent reason. Since mom uses the box i tried to install XP, and then a way into the install got somthing like this:

Code:

Machine check exception
Stop: 0x0000009C (0x00000001, 0x8054DA70, 0xF2000000, 0x00000175)


Now that's some nice errorcode, but even after consulting intel's _big_ manual i could not determine the cause.

Well, some hardware part is broken, so removed all unneeded pci-cards (network, soundcard and a modem), but it didn't help...

Anyone here that can?

Best regards

Hi,

I once read about a Machine_Check_Exception that could be resolved by removing the CDROM... did you try that?

Cheers, R.
