RE: Asrock machine check error - settings - 2012-04-29 13:45
I took my machine apart last night to check everything and all looks good. One thing I noticed in bios is that the auto memory voltage is 1.575 (or something like that) when the memory needs 1.5v. There is no 1.5v selection on the board so I put it to 1.475v. I dont know if that makes a difference. I only get the "machine check error" message rarely so its hard for me to tell.

If you could both post your full specs, we can see if there's anything else in common. Unfortunately it's really hard to diagnose an intermittent error.

this is my build, like I said the error is not very common for me but I did get it yesterday out of the blue.

I just have openelec stable on it now, nothing else. I did install it with a usb stick though. The only usb connected is my hp usb ir which is giving me no trouble

after google'ing around, your hardware seems fine because
many users of that motherbaord also get the "Asrock machine check error" ...
most likely needs a BIOS update and somewhat ASROCK dont care
since problem never got looked into...
it just plain sooks...

It is the first custom pc I ever build too so I am kinda disheartened. Just tonight I got the error and I am not sure if it was because I turned on my surround sound before the HTPC (with latest openelec stable).Have you check here- [SOLVED]Soft reset: machine check error
Not sure what else it could be. I got a small case fan connected that seems to be doing okay, usb IR, hdmi, digital out...
I checked connections and flashed latest bios.
edit: oops board is h61m-itx
RE: Asrock machine check error - settings - 2012-05-04 22:03
God this is starting to annoy me -it seems to be more common. Turned my htpc on (never a soft boot bluray like the post you linked) about 8 or 9 times and had 2 errors :/
It cant really be anything to do with OS installed as it doesnt get past bios?
I have the lastest bios flashed - 1.6 i think.
I will email asrock like I should of done a long time ago

thanks eskro,
yeah its such a pain. It was my first pc build and I was thinking about building it for months (with alot of help from your guides). I opened and re-opened my case so much trying to find the problem and I even think I need to reapply the thermal paste from detaching the stock cooler a couple of times from the chip. Then after all that it its a big stepback compared to my old shuttle 35gt. I am gonna email them now and let ye know what they say! next time its gonna be asus or gigabyte
