Or this: "A hardware component in your system is failing. [insert specific bit if MCE is certain enough about what part] If you can, try to narrow it down by placing it in another mainboard (assuming you have one available), or run [memcheck, another tool]. Then contact the hardware vendor(s) in question, if uncertain, try your CPU vendor first." > Regards, > Tony V.
