Hi,
I have a custom built machine that works ok except for the following
On a cold boot the machine will near enough always freeze at some point in the first few minutes of use - often at login screen or sometimes later on once windows is loaded
Every now and then instead of a freeze I will get a BSOD machine_check_exception and will have to restart.
I've replugged in various bits of hardware and no fix. The machine has the lastest BIOS version and is not overclocked (was in the past but i turned overclock off to help me fix this issue)
How do I easily fix the problem or diagnose the cause at least. Is there a way of getting diagnostic info from the processor?
Could it be to do with unbalanced rails on my power supply? Though actually I deliberately only have the graphics on one rail and everything else on the other.
Oldest piece of kit in the system is the PCI graphics card - could this be a problem?
I've been putting off sorting this for too long but feel i need to get it out of the way.
Any constructive help and support while I look into this greatly appreciated.
thanks
