0x0000009C: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
This is a hardware issue: an unrecoverable hardware error has occurred. The parameters have different meanings depending on what type of CPU you have but, while diagnostic, rarely lead to a clear solution. Most commonly it results from overheating, from failed hardware (RAM, CPU, hardware bus, power supply, etc.), or from pushing hardware beyond its capabilities (e.g., overclocking a CPU).

I would take a look in Event Viewer for possible clues...if it's a drive situation, EV will probably reflect errors.

If it's anything other than a drive, chances are EV won't be enlightening.

You might check your system for any .dmp messages/files that may exist.

You might also do whatever you can to satisfy yourself that the system is not overheating.

a new problem

when i want install new windows xp sp2
after first stage (set up is loading file)
line contain "windows starting up" coming
after 30 second system restarting
i exam that more time with two cd driver
i unplug new hard drive
i unplug previous hard drive
but problem exist
how can i install new win?

if you need more information just let me know to explain

I'd run a diagnostic on the hard drive (extended test) and the RAM.

http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?loca...000dd04090aRCRD Personally, I would use the SeaTools for Dos utility, not the one for Windows. I have confidence in the one (because I've used it over the years) but not in the other.

Since those qualify as "hardware" mentioned in the BSOD...one or both could be having problems.

When trying to install Windows...I find it best to only have two drives properly connected to the system:

a. The optical drive to be used to read/install from the XP CD.

b. The hard drive on which I intend to install XP.

If there are any existing partitions on that drive...I delete them as Step One.

I suggest running the hard drive now, I'll give you the link/data on the memory diagnostic after the hard drive results are known.

about my problem
1. about blue screen of death
i said i have 2 ram =(512 * 2 = 1G)
i remove one of my ram
and test exist ram with memtest = not any problem found
replace another ram
test again
and some problem found!
so i think that blue screen was for bad ram!

2.about installing windows
i unplug hard seagate and cd rom

and use dvd writer to install
windows install correctly
