Hi- My 2yr old Windows XP professional system keeps rebooting itself,
at least one time per day. It seems to happen usually while I'm using
it, most often when I have photoshop or winamp open, and a few apps
open at once. After it reboots, it says Windows has recovered from a
serious error, and reports:
STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151)

SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following Stop error message:
STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x00000000, 0xb2000000, 0x00020151)
"MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION"
The four parameters inside the parentheses may vary.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and
reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP. To do this,
the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of
Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of
some Pentium Pro processors. The following factors may cause this
error message:
* System bus errors
* Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code
(ECC) problems
* Cache errors in the processor or hardware
* Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
* Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
* Vendor-specific detected hardware problems
Anyone know how to tell if this is a power supply issue or an
overheating problem? I've only seen this happen since I moved into a
new place a couple months ago. I have a Soyo SY-KT400 dragon ultra
motherboard and Athlon XP 2100, which has been very stable up until
now.
Thanks.
