I have an older computer that runs 64-bit Vista that will not boot. It seems to be in a boot loop getting stuck at 'Windows is loading files...'. Before trying to restart it, it had a BSOD. I've removed the hard drive and am currently running a chkdsk on it (no problems so far) and I've located the minidump file. The minidump files appears to reference MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION (9c) error. I have the entire WinDbg output if someone could assist me. I'm pretty computer literate but I cannot seem to figure out what this is pointing to. I appreciate your assistance.

I was afraid of that. I'm not doing any overclocking but I will double-check the heat sinks and the fans. It does get fairly warm where the computer was located but it's been off for several days now. This computer was my old one that my son was using...I guess I can buy a new one and hand my other one down to him! I appreciate your help!
