Yes, its been ages since I've been here, but I'm not getting answers on OCN right now.
Last monday, I was browsing the web via Chrome, about 5 tabs open (likely Habbo, OCN, eBay, Gmail and Grooveshark), and the screen froze, the cursor was corrupt (the top of the cursor repeated itself several times, the sound looped, and 5 seconds later it rebooted. Upon booting, it said it was an 0x00000124 error, and there was an Event ID 20 in the Event Viewer, reading this:
A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor ID: 0
Its just done it again.
Some forums recommended changing my Vcore, but not what to change it to and how to change it. I know its in the BIOS, but I can't work out where. What's the problem with my PC, I can't work it out? This is a NON-OC'ed machine. And the rig in question is in my sig. All parts are still under warranty.
How do I fix this? Is it a hardware fault? Just seriously need help now. I'm 2 weeks away from my English exams, and this is stressing me out big time.
