I recently posted a crashing problem under the subject thread
"machine_check_exception". ICee & others kindly and patiently led me through
various diagnosis and then and Will Dorman (on another group) asked me to
post the results of running Dumpchk.exe on one of the minidump files which
are saved to windows\minidump after each crash. I have pasted the results of
the latest crash. Hopefully it provides clues to the unsolved problem of
very frequent crashes where the screen is only on for a split second before
the machine reboots (I have turned OFF the automatic reboot after a crash
option). The only thing I have time to read on the screen is
machine_check_exception and that it is blue but not the usual windows blue
screen.
MemTest86 shows ram modules are good, and MBM5 shows cpu temperature is
good. No virus'.

What the hell use is that? What does the human-readable
error message say in your event viewer?

Start / Run / eventvwr.msc

I still say you have bad RAM.

Ok, you are continually getting STOP 0x0000009c errors,
which point to hardware problems -- this may still be
memory related.

Understanding and Troubleshooting the Stop 0x0000009C Screen
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=162363

You have some serious hardware investigation to do.

Thanks. I'll look into the other errors (I only pasted a few) and see if the
others show 0x0000009c too.
I DID replace one stick of Ram which memetest86 showed as bad. Now it shows
it all as good. But still the crashes. I will use a multimeter to check the
PSU although MBM5 shows good temperatures and voltage on everything.
