    Im trying to install Windows & but I keep getting BSOD Machine Check Exception and Im not sure how to decode it or figure out how to bypass it. Ive moved around the RAM alot and cant get it to work. If someone could help that would be amazing. Im not sure what scans or logs that are necessary to help you help me. I would be extremely grateful for any help at all! Thanks

    If the hardware is failing, the software will never work right.

    Test the RAM with Memtest86+. (Burn it to a CD then use it to boot the flaky machine).

    bronskater - your thread title says Win 7 yet you posted in the Win XP forum. Can you clarify this please?

    I have windows XP and it is running ok, I would like to upgrade to windows 7, and whenever I put in the disc it loads up then freezes and BSOD saying machine check exception. I know the disc works because I just used it on a different machine a few days ago and had no problems whatsoever. I have tested the ram before, but am now currently doing the memtest.

    You can also check the setuperr.log in %WINDIR%\Panther folder. Also see what the last line is in setupact.log.

    In "human speak ": This behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error. To do this, the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of some Pentium Pro processors. The following factors may cause this error message:

    • System bus errors
    • Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems
    • Cache errors in the processor or hardware
    • Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
    • Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
    • Vendor-specific detected hardware problems

    Have a look here for some ideas: Stop error message in Windows XP that you may receive: "0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151) "

    My suggestions:
    • To Rule out overclocking issues, restore BIOS to factory specs.
    • Test memory

    Memory test: Run Memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic.

    Windows 7 DVD also includes a memory testing option called Windows Memory Diagnostic which can be accessed by booting off your Windows DVD, choosing your language/keyboard options, and clicking the link Repair your computer at the bottom left on the Install Now screen. When prompted select your Windows Installation and click Next, here you can select the Windows Memory Diagnostic option.

    Please note:

    To work around the above, test the installed RAM in various configurations. If you have a single module, swap it around the slots. If you have a pair of modules, run each one singly, swapping between slots; and then run them in pairs swapping between pairs of slots. If you have 2 sets of matched modules do not get them mixed up.
