Machine Check Exception on new Build need assistance

snowman311 · Nov 26, 2016

I just finished a new build and installed windows 7 Ultimate. After installation..my initial windows boot I am getting a Machine Check Exception BSoD. I have double checked all my ram to make sure it was seated properly, reinstalled windows a couple of times.My bios is reading all of my memory and cpu properly as far as I can tell. I have done new builds before but I never have any major issues so I am fairly new. Any input and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my components
ASUS RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (8 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4
Intel Core i7-6850K 15M Broadwell-E 6-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 2011-v3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 1TB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive
CORSAIR Hydro Series H75 CW-9060015-WW Water / Liquid CPU Cooler 120 MM
EVGA SuperNOVA 750

Is your RAM a matched set of 8 DIMMs? Two matched sets of 4? Just randomly mixed DIMMs? Start by taking half the RAM out. See if you get BSOD. If not, put the RAM back and run MEMTEST for a day. See what it tells you.

I have 2 matched sets of 4. All the same product purchased together.
Ok I will try that first and get back to you.
Thank you for the help

So I have only 4 matched DIMMs in on the left side and it has now let me boot windows. Does that mean one of these sticks is bad or do I need different ram to run all 8 16g

It MAY mean that one of the sticks is bad. I forgot to ask, do you have an XMP profile selected in the BIOS? If so, then set the RAM back to default. It may be that the XMP profile with all 8 sticks is a problem.

Ok the only options are Auto Manual and XMP. I reinstalled 4 sticks and tried all 3 and its back to giving me the same Blue Screen. I tried adding just 2 more sticks with same result ...and also tried the other 4 in the system instead and they all seem to work fine as long as there is only 4. I bought these from the same vendor in sets of 4 they show to all be identical. Should I return them for a full set of 8? If so..which set would you recommend as the best.
Thanks again for all the help. This has been a new learning experience for sure.

I would put the 4 sticks in that are giving you problems and run MEMTEST -- http://www.memtest86.com/ Get some proof that one set of 4 is bad.

kanewolf :

Ok well no matter which set are in the computer they work fine as long as there are only 4. Anything more than 4 is giving me a BSoD on startup and I cant even get into windows at all.

I don't have an X99 so I am just guessing. What I think I would recommend now, is to start another thread with the new info (X99 4 DIMMs fine, 8 DIMMs fail to boot). Maybe somebody with more experience with an X99 and 8 DIMMs can give you something more concrete.
