    Bsod - machine_check_exception


    Hello Ladies & Gents!

    I'm a SevenForums member, DreadStar/DreadStarX! It's been a long time since I've been on here, and found that SF/EF/TF is one of the best resources for OS Problems.

    So, here's the problem.

    When I boot up VMWare Workstation, and attempt to install a Ubuntu 15.xx 32bit/64bit, it bluescreens after about 5 minutes. I thought at first it was because of my Dual GFX Cards, but that wasn't the case. I have plenty of memory/hdd/gfx memory.

    I've uploaded my BSOD Report from the nifty tool z3r0 posted.

    Hi BinaryData,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    The intel processor driver is causing the crashes.
    Please check your manufacturer, MSI, for driver updates.

    Thanks a bunch! Now I'll have to figure that part out. Which driver specifically? I've never owned a laptop before

    Updated to the latest, tried to run the VMWare, and it still crashed. Want me to upload that BSOD too?

    Please fill in the system specs correctly of the pc that has the problems
    According to the logs you have a laptop, but according to your system specs you have a desktop.

    A 0x9C(machine_check_exception) is similar to a 0x124(WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR), meaning both are usually caused by hardware problems (hardware, drivers, dust, loosy components etc.). A lot can't be (properly) checked with a laptop, like loosy components, dust, broken cables etc., so for now we just skip them and try the possible onces as one of the last options.

    I suggest to test the CPU.

    Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

    Seems as if it wasn't a drivers problem, but a BIOS problem. I did a driver update on everything, no suffice. I did a BIOS Flash, and no more BSOD. I'll monitor it for the next few weeks, and go from there.

    I will mark your post "Solved", once I'm 100% sure this is the cause.

    On a side note, knowing how to read BSODs can be handy, who did you learn from or is there a tutorial?

    I started learning it by myself, sometimes I get support from some amazing people when I ask for it, but I have mainly done it all myself.

    I suggest to start with the setup of Windbg, the program we use.
    WinDBG - Install Configure - Windows 10 Forums

    Not to discourage but I'll tell you, I spent my whole summer vacation in this including a few months before the summer vacation. With the great amount of difference with each bluescreen I think I'm at 0.00001% currently.
    This is not something you can easy learn, it takes a lot of time, dedication, persistence. There possibly are many other things that this requires. Fortunately one can learn this whenever he/she likes :)
