BitRooT 0 Posted March 23, 2000 Hi guys! Does anyone have the same problems running games on win2k and get this blue screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION". Everyone of my applications work fine, but games always give med the BSOD at a random time. I can sometimes play 10 minutes and other times only 1 minute before it creashes.

Arin 0 Posted March 23, 2000 I may be able to help, but others to may need to know what you have on your system, like gfx card, windows2000 ram, processor. and do you get this problem when say something takes alot of processor usage, such as a huge clash in quake 3 where there are says 5 people in a room shooting rockets? ------------------ Amd k7 500 w/ 3dnow and mmx. :: 192 mb sd100 ram.

BitRooT 0 Posted March 24, 2000 Sorry for not my missing nfo. Here is my system: celeron 300 @ 450 128 mb PC133 ram abit bx6 rev 2 motherboard geforce 256 DDR 32 mb ram running win2k drivers version 3.81 adaptec SCSI-controller NIC win/TV Hauppage card SB AWE 32 (PCI) The exception is thrown aon a random base. It is not like one special place it all goes down. As far as I understand the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION is thrown by the hardware (the CPU), which means that it problably is a hardware failure? But I just cant understand why win98 fly perfect and win2k is acting so strange. Is there a way to disable the cpu to throw the exception?? I read somewhere that it interrupts on irq 18, maybe there is a way to disable this feature? Thanks for taking your time... to help. BitRooT Share this post Link to post
Arin 0 Posted March 24, 2000 If it has to do with irq then it may be that you have to many things set to the same irq, and unfortunately as far as i know, if you use advanced power managment then you cant change the irq becasue acpi sets it automaticaly. ------------------ Amd k7 500 w/ 3dnow and mmx. :: 192 mb sd100 ram.
