Hello all,
Been dealing with the error for quite some time and haven't figured out how to fix it. So here I am with your expert help.
I am typically playing WoW but this has happened with other games as well, that everything just freezes and then I get the BSOD.
Any help is super appreciated because at this point I am just thinking of building a brand new PC with hopes it goes away lol.
Thank you all!
All the dumps are the same:
From an older thread in 2014: Stop 0x00009C. Suggestions made by Patrick Barker still apply today. Most likely cause is a defective CPU.Code:MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION (9c) A fatal Machine Check Exception has occurred.
Are you over-clocking at all? If so, set all clock values to nominal (normal) and see if that helps.Code:There is only so much you can do with a bugcheck like this until it comes down to a faulty processor that will need to be replaced. Start from 1 and work downward: 1. Ensure your temperatures are within standard and nothing's overheating. You can use a program such as Speccy if you'd like to monitor temps - Speccy - System Information - Free Download 2. Clear your CMOS (or load optimized BIOS defaults) to ensure there's no improper BIOS setting - How to Clear CMOS (AKA Reset Bios Settings) 3. Ensure your BIOS is up to date. 4. The only software conflict that can usually cause *9C or *124 bugchecks are OS to BIOS utilities from manufacturer's like Asus' AI Suite, AI Charger software, etc. If you have something like this software-wise, remove it ASAP (which I see you do have Asus software installed). 5. If all of the above fail, the only left to do is replace your processor as it is faulty.
