About this tag
The machine check tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Machine Check Exception (MCE) errors and related Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) events. Common topics include BSODs with bug check codes like 0x124, cache hierarchy errors, and corrected hardware errors reported by the processor core. Users often seek help diagnosing crashes, freezes, and automatic restarts, with many threads pointing to faulty CPU, overheating, or other hardware issues. The tag also includes troubleshooting steps such as analyzing minidump files, checking event logs for WHEA-Logger Event ID 19, and using tools like Speccy to monitor system temperatures. These errors can prevent Windows from starting or cause instability during use.
