    Random BSODs, Machine Check Exception


    I am aware that MCEs are usually hardware related. I just want to make sure it isn't driver related before I get an exchange. I have my error dump file right here if anyone can check it out and tell me what's up. I really appreciate any help.

    Ok... I ran a scan to check for corrupt files. After that was done it said it found a few but couldn't repair all of them. I would still like some clarification whether this is a hardware or software thing. Thanks

    Same problem here


    Just as an FYI, I'm getting the exact same bugcheck error. My system actually seems fairly stable until I boot up a virtual machine running Ubuntu Linux. Once the VM is up and running, I usually get a crash within just a few minutes. I also get the same crash running Ubuntu directly on the bare hardware.

    Multiple users are reporting this problem, and there seems to be some suspicion that this is due to a bug in the i7-5700HQ CPU.

    Some other posts with similar problems:

    Machine Check Exception from VMware Workstation 11 | VMware Communities

    Is your hardware the MSI Apache Pro 219?

    Is there a particular software package that's triggering the problem for you?

    Solved!


    Ok, my computer's manufacture came out with a driver and BIOS update that has fixed the issue. Apparently the i7-5700hq had it's bugs and they just fixed it by updating the microcode to a newer version.

    Glad to hear it fixed the problem. I ended up returning my laptop because I wasn't sure if it was a fixable defect. Honestly, I'm glad I did. It's taken MSI more than two months to fix the problem!

    The BIOS update updated the CPU microcode and there was also an Intel released update to update the pci express driver and other CPU related drivers for broadwell. So anyone else experiencing this issue should look for any driver or BIOD updates available to them. Especially CPU microcode patches.

    Before they fixed the issue MS OneNote would always cause a BSOD. I don't know why. I would open it, then a few seconds later nothing would respond and the death screen of blue would come.

    I'm a obviously super happy they fixed it finally.

    I'm using MSI GE62 Apache Pro with Intel i7-5700hq and I'm facing the same issue. I get the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION blue screen error whenever I try to save an MS Office document. Can you tell me how can I update the driver and BIOS?
    Thanks
