Ok here's a description of my rig.
- AMD Athlon 64 2800+ (Stock speed)
- 2 x 512MB Kingmax Harcore PC4000
- Antec 300W Power Supply
- 2 x Hitachi 160GB in Raid 0
- Artec 48x24x48x CD-RW
- M-Audio Delta 1010LT
- Ultra cheap TV tuner
Randomly my computer started throwing up BSOD's with the error: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
They became more and more frequent. After a few days (2-3) it refused to even POST. The power turns on and the fans start going but there is no output whatsoever. I tried resetting the CMOS at that point AND removed everything except the bare essentials. It started once and threw up another BSOD with the same message again and hasn't started since. I am not sure what I should do now. Theres nothing physically wrong with the processor. Every CPU that has ever died on me has shown some sort of burn mark or chip on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no money whatsoever and am thoroughly screwed if I can't fix this. (I'm on my roommate's comp right now actually ).
THANKS IN ADVANCE,
Jason Dorfman
