This isn't the only BSOD I've had since finishing my build, I also get one if I install the utilities (not Drivers) from my motherboard disk but I haven't recorded that log and since I removed the utilities the problem hasn't happened again.
Hope someone can help me,
Rookie

This is a really handy tool for translating those minidumps and error messages.

Hey,
Sorry for not getting back to this but after another crash today it reminded me that I had made this thread. I have downloaded whocrashed and these are my three errors or what ever you want to call them:

The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.
And then my two crashes from Sunday.
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
Test with 1 stick of RAM at a time.
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
As above, sounds like a dodgy ram stick.
Memtest will find that out.
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
I know this is going to sound silly but....... how do I test the RAM??
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
You have 2 sticks? Pull one out.......run system until it crashes or your happy it isn't going to crash.....then swap the sticks.

But its took 2 days to replicate the problem.... there must be a better way??
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
not really, i see you have corsair ram, it will need to be set in the BIOS at the correct rated speeds as well.
leaving it to auto detect is not good with corsair RAM.
you can download a memtest86 cd to speed up the testing phase.

Well that's a shame, guess I might as well remove one stick and see how things go, is there anyway to stress the RAM to see if it's faulted?
My RAM was installed by Scan, so it should be right shouldn't it. I don't think I'm able to alter their settings in the BIOS without voiding my warranty am I??

i have seen plenty of posts on here to prove otherwise.
if they installed it i suggest you contact them.
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
Ok, I've ran the memtest and it came back 100% Pass no Errors found.... so now begins my new nightmare :wallbash:, if its not the RAM what could it be? My Mrs is going fkn nuts with me about this, things along the lines of:

How can you install memory wrong?? as surely the memory will only go in one way :)
Please provide prove of where these "posts" are which have shown SCAN have installed memory incorrectly.
Re: BSOD - Machine Check Exception
My guess is hard drive issues, possibly just bad software/drivers.
Check that SATA cables are tightly connected as they can easily come loose in transit
Run a full chkdsk (/r) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 to check for bad sectors.
Check BIOS is updated, try running the hard drive in IDE mode or update ACHI drivers.
