i have problems with crashes for long time with my htpc:
windows just crashes with no reason and i get a message from microsoft its the psu or cpu or m.b. or memory.....
this is my configuration:
1. Leadtek PX6600GT THD Extreme 128MB – nvidia 81.98 mce driver
2. Case: AHANIX MCE 601+ vfd + card reader – 350W psu
3. O.S: WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER 2005 updated rollup 2 + remote control
4. PVR: HAUPPAUGE PVR 150 MCE X2 - most updated drivers
5. DVD Philips DVR: PBDV1628G
6. WD 250GB SATA + HD: WD 80GB SATA
7. Memory: kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G X2
8. M.B: Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 – most updated bios+drivers
9. AMD Athlon 64 BIT 3700+/2.2 GHz 1MB Socket 939 BOX 3Y san-diego
10. TV: LCD 37" HAIER L37V6
I thought it’s the graphic card (gt6600) but there are still problems after taking it off (although not so often)
Then I thought it’s the psu but i cant be sure
Its probably not the motherboard, cpu or memory cause they pass all kind of tests I run on them.
attached the last error log.
does someone have any idea????????

MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION (9c)
A fatal Machine Check Exception has occurred.
KeBugCheckEx parameters;
x86 Processors
If the processor has ONLY MCE feature available (For example Intel
Pentium), the parameters are:
1 - Low 32 bits of P5_MC_TYPE MSR
2 - Address of MCA_EXCEPTION structure
3 - High 32 bits of P5_MC_ADDR MSR
4 - Low 32 bits of P5_MC_ADDR MSR
If the processor also has MCA feature available (For example Intel
Pentium Pro), the parameters are:
1 - Bank number
2 - Address of MCA_EXCEPTION structure
3 - High 32 bits of MCi_STATUS MSR for the MCA bank that had the error
4 - Low 32 bits of MCi_STATUS MSR for the MCA bank that had the error
IA64 Processors
1 - Bugcheck Type
1 - MCA_ASSERT
2 - MCA_GET_STATEINFO
SAL returned an error for SAL_GET_STATEINFO while processing MCA.
3 - MCA_CLEAR_STATEINFO
SAL returned an error for SAL_CLEAR_STATEINFO while processing MCA.
4 - MCA_FATAL
FW reported a fatal MCA.
5 - MCA_NONFATAL
SAL reported a recoverable MCA and we don't support currently
support recovery or SAL generated an MCA and then couldn't
produce an error record.
0xB - INIT_ASSERT
0xC - INIT_GET_STATEINFO
SAL returned an error for SAL_GET_STATEINFO while processing INIT event.
0xD - INIT_CLEAR_STATEINFO
SAL returned an error for SAL_CLEAR_STATEINFO while processing INIT event.
0xE - INIT_FATAL
Not used.

VAL - MCi_STATUS register is valid
Indicates that the information contained within the IA32_MCi_STATUS
register is valid. When this flag is set, the processor follows the
rules given for the OVER flag in the IA32_MCi_STATUS register when
overwriting previously valid entries. The processor sets the VAL
flag and software is responsible for clearing it.
UC - Error Uncorrected
Indicates that the processor did not or was not able to correct the
error condition. When clear, this flag indicates that the processor
was able to correct the error condition.
EN - Error Enabled
Indicates that the error was enabled by the associated EEj bit of the
IA32_MCi_CTL register.
PCC - Processor Context Corrupt
Indicates that the state of the processor might have been corrupted
by the error condition detected and that reliable restarting of the
processor may not be possible.
BUSCONNERR - Bus and Interconnect Error BUS{LL}_{PP}_{RRRR}_{II}_{T}_err
These errors match the format 0000 1PPT RRRR IILL

This error code can be reported back to the manufacturer.
They may be able to provide additional information based upon
this error. All questions regarding STOP 0x9C should be
directed to the hardware manufacturer.
