Hi, Have you installed any new hardware?

You're getting bugcheck 0x9c - MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. This generally indicates a hardware problem, such as a problem with the motherboard or processor.Additional things you can try, though, just to see if they may help... Ensure that the system has adequate cooling and ventilation. Test RAM, reseat RAM and the processor if you can. If the BIOS is the latest, consider reverting to a previous version and see if that helps. Also double-check BIOS settings; perhaps, note current settings, reset the BIOS defaults, and then adjust those settings you know are necessary to adjust. Double-check voltage, etc. and ensure/verify CPU compatibility with the motherboard.If the system has a new HD, you might consider checking cable connections, etc. in case something got bumped while hardware was being shuffled. Consider the following general guidance for dealing with bluescreens (though they may not be of much use in your case):Consider running chkdsk on all partitions. Let chkdsk complete on each partition and see if that helps.Also consider running SFC /SCANNOW.It can be helpful to use Driver Verifier. To enable Driver Verifier... start->verifier.exe->OK->Create standard settings->Next->select driver names from a list->Next->sort by Provider->select all non-Microsoft drivers->Finish, and OK your way out of the dialog.Then, reboot and use the system as you normally would, and wait for a problem. In the event that the system does not boot completely after enabling driver verifier, boot into Safe Mode and run driver verifier, and tell it to delete the changes.Wait for a bugcheck to occur after enabling verifier as described, and then upload the dump to your SkyDrive, and provide a link.If you boot into safe mode, do you still experience bugchecks? What about if you do a clean boot, or device clean boot?Consider testing memory with Windows Memory Diagnostic or memtest86. Note that memory that passes tests is not necessarily good memory - it just hasn't failed a test. Consider systematically eliminating RAM from the system - run with a couple of modules for a while, and see how things go. Then try the other modules.Other common suggestions include ensuring drivers are up to date, as well as ensuring that you're using the latest BIOS.
