I'm getting a blue screen of death on my dell laptop.

I had some problems recently, and they replaced the MoBo 4 time, and fixed the problem, but now for some reason I'm getting a regular BSOD, but it doesn't happen in set intervals, sometimes it'll be fine, for an hour, other times it'll crash every few minutes.

The error says "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION"

and the code it gives is (0x00000000, 0x8E30D94C,0x00000000,0x00000000)

Does anyone have any idea at all?

Thanks
 
thats an error that tells me .... its due to overheating / overclocking the gpu or cpu more than it can handle (which im sure you arent doing with a laptop.... right ?) or it could be failed hardware other than the mobo.

lol... definitely not overclocking....

I'll have to call that damn technician out again.
Dammit
 
It's definitely not due to overclocking. The overclocking errors have other codes.

If you ask me, it is CPU/RAM related, with the CPU being the more likely culprit.

Btw, which version of Windows is this and what kind of hardware do you have (CPU, Motherboard & RAM)?

That's definitely a hardware problem. I would suspect mobo or ram. possibly power supply too, it might not be giving out the right amount of power to your lap top, but I wouldn't bet on that being the problem. Unfortunately its a lap top and it would be hard to remove components to pin point the exact problem, so I would contact Dell or get a techie in to check it out.
