okay earlier i was using my comp and then i got a BSOD that said machine_check_exception STOP 0x0000009c (0x00000004, 0x80545ff0, 0xb2000000, 0x00070F0F0F) and right before the comp went to BSOD i heard some REALLY nasty clicking coming from the hard drive. I suspect my primary is getting old its about 5 years old and Its been clicking really bad for some time. anyways back on topic, I read on microsofts site that its mostly related to Ram and memory problems. Could this BSOD of been cause by the HDD if it is going bad?
