I need help... I just assembled a new system and I've been getting the "BLUE SCREEN ERROR OF DEATH" with the message MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I've look around the net about this error and I've realized that it has something to do with hardware failure.

In my case, I can't really identify which of my hardware is failing since they're all brand new, though of course, that doesn't really matter as well. I only get this error once I run Red Alert 3. It would only run for about 1-2 minutes and then I'll be getting that blue screen error. I have yet to see this error when I'm just doing simple task (like internet browsing, etc.). My theory for now is that my PSU is not powerful enough to supply what my system needs.

PLEASE HELP MET OUT.

You said "I've been getting", but I can see only 1 report about BSOD.
??

[chrysler12]

Oh ok. I understand what you're trying to say... you want me to include all BSOD I got.

I didn't bother doing so because I've verified each one, and it's the same error message to all of them.

[Broni]

Oh, OK. You should have said so...
hal.dll is rather nasty problem.
All I can give you is this link: http://pcsupport.abo...ssinghaldll.htm
