hello,
My new eMachines m6809 has been crashing and a blue screen saying,"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION has caused the computer to shut down, etc..."
This happens when I install games/files or when the Norton Antivirus, which came with the notebook, is scanning a big file (Far Cry Demo zip file, etc.). I looked at the Microsoft support site and did not come up with a solution. Restoring the old factory settings from the DVD helped a bit.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329284 - Microsoft's support page.
The support page mentions a Pentium processor and that confused me because the m6809 came with an AMD processor.
Any help is appreciated.
Also, Installing Battlefield 1942/Half-Life and other files from CDs/CD-RWs cause this error AND Windows complains that there is something wrong with the *.cab, other important files, or the CDs and refuses to install them.
Any tips on the problem?
Oooh, have any of the m6809 users got nVidia's Dawn demo to run on their machines? How?
Hardware:
eMachine m6809
no hardware changes
only updated vid drivers to the latest Catalyst drivers
Thanks
