Hi All,

I am getting random hangs in Vista. Requires a hard reboot.

Nothing appears on the event log at the time of the hang (i guess
because it never gets a chance to write to the event log).

I have taken out unessecary hardware, no difference.

The only thing I can see on the event log is an Error thats regularly
occuring during boot:

Kernel-WHEA (Event ID 12)
Machine Check event reported is a fatal Bus or Interconnect timeout
error.

Memory Hierachy Level: 3
Participation: 2
Request Type: 0
Memory/IO: 0
Address: 3422552064 (but the address varies)

I am running an ASUS board P5VDC-MX on Vista Business. Have not
updated bios yet, thats next, and I am also gonna try with one RAM
module removed at a time.

Any other ideas?

Cheers

The only kb article that turns up concerns cpu errors:

Obviously, if you were to take out the cpu the error would go away. :)
It appears from the article that the OS is involved in that it logs the
event but that the underlying event is not an OS event.
