To my knowledge, the single source with the most information on the STOP error is here:
http://www.aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x9c
Excerpt:
"Most commonly it results from overheating, from failed hardware (RAM, CPU, hardware bus, power supply, etc.), or from pushing hardware beyond its capabilities (e.g., overclocking a CPU)."

I am unable to determine the root cause of my system crashes that show the following on the blue screen crash page summary:.
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
STOP: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x8054D570, 0xB2000010, 0x00010C0F) I built this machine from scratch about a year ago, and have experienced infrequent, untimely crashes such as this with varying degrees of frequency. When it first occurred, I ran MEMTEST386 and found bad memory, which Kingston replaced free of charge. Even with the new memory, the crashes have continued.
I have run MEMTEST386 and other memory checks and see no issues with the new memory. I am running Windows XP Home on an AMD ATHLON 64 CPU on an ABIT UL8 motherboard with a 420W power supply and 1GB of RAM (two 512 MB dual channel DDR Kingston KVR400AK2/1GR). I have run a multitude of system checks including Norton Systemworks, MacAfee scan, Kaspersky scan, Trendmicro scan, Adware SE scan, Ewidoscan, and Spybot scan.
How do I determine what the problem is to decided what to do to make this frsutrating error STOP? I don't know what else to check and need help resolving the issue. Microsoft's web pagefor this kind of stop is:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329284
But... the cause refers to Pentium, not AMD (and I have an AMD processor, not a Pentium).
