ok plugged this in to windows help and support and it told me it resulted in cache errors in my processor but i run prime95 all the time to check and nothing is wrong with the processor its stable while i sleep, and while i game all that, maybe hard drive error? any ideas?

EDIT:someone recommended switching jumper settings on my hd, but i have a sata drive so i cant change those :\

error also says MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

correct me if I am wrong...but prime 95 has nothing to do with the OS at all....
I have seen a similar error like that before and it looks as if its a video driver error
