    BSOD only when playing Dota 2, error 0x0000009c caused by hal.dll


    Specs:

    Windows 10 Home
    Interl Core I7 - 5700HQ
    12.0 Ram Memomy
    1TB Hard Drive

    I just bought a new MSi GE62 -276 like a week ago and I already got 3-5 BSODs while I was playing Dota 2.
    It happened anytime during the game or I was at the lobby not doing anything.

    Hi geoht,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    The crashes 0x9C(MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION) are similar to a 0x124(WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR).
    0x124 are usually hardware problems, but difficult to identify the cause as there are more causes like overclocking, dust, BIOS problems, drivers problems and in rare cases software.
    Please test your hardware with following instructions



    Diagnostics Troubleshooting

    Read carefully before proceeding.



    warning   Warning
    If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.

    Note   Note
    Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.


    Part One: CPU Stress Test

    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.
