Hello. I've had some serious computer issues. It all started with my graphic card, then with a new HDD I bought, replaced it and waiting for the replacement now, and then it struck an old HDD!

Stop error while playing games

My current system spec:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual core processor 2ghz
Motherboard: NVidia nForce 3 250
RAM: DIMM3: Corsair CMX1024-3200C2 x2
PSU: Cooler Master iGreen Power 600W PSU ATX 2.0
Graphic Card: nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 (MSI G4Ti4200)
Display: Samsung Syncmaster 730BF
HDD1: SAMSUNG SV6003H 60gb
(Split up in 2 partitions)
HDD2: Maxtor 80gb
HDD3: Seagate Barracuda ST3400620A 400GB
(I bought this same time as I bought the PSU)

Btw, all the HDD:s are IDE

The story:
It all started with me getting stop-errors with my graphic card. At the end the card stopped working completely as you can see. (I bought the PSU, tested it and then decided to use the old card + put in the new HDD)

I continued to use my computer happy that I finally had a working one. After a while I had STOP: 0x0000009C-errors running the computer. I figured it would be because of the new HDD was faulty or something.

I tested it all, and I was right. When the new HDD was plugged in I only got the error. I have warranty and am now having a new one sent to me. In the meanwhile I thought I could suffice with the two old HDDs only.

Only two days ago, I started getting the same error (I think).

The exact error:
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x8054D5F0, 0xb2000000, 0x00070f0f)

I tested unplugging the HDD2, and then the computer worked again.

BUT, what if something in the computer burnt up the graphic card, hdd3 and 2? Any thoughts?

I tested the RAM by replacing with working RAM, I tested the different expansion slots for the RAM. I don't have any CPU to replace and test, and same for MoBo. I could be arsed replacing the PSU with the old one, but I wanted to ask for advice first.

I googled STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x8054D5F0, 0xb2000000, 0x00070f0f) and found a lot of fishy problems, most of them related to my CPU, or similar models of it. Then again, it could all be an coincident.

Also, I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread. Please move it accordingly.

Anyways, tech away, and thanks for any help available!
