BSOD --> MACHINE_CHECK_ERROR

umm... every now and again, i turn on my computer, and i get the BSOD with a MACHINE_CHECK_ERROR as the cause... what is this all about? i tried looking up some answers, but all that they would tell me is that it is a hardware problem... umm which peice of hardware??? i recently re-formatted my machine, would that have anything to do with this? would a re-format correct this? im all out of ideas...

thanks

Still doing it even after the reformat?

might be oc'd too much.

Well, here is what microsoft has to say.

Is it possible that maybe yuo have a heat issue.
Is your HS/F correctly placed it is possible that you may have a bad heat problem..thermal contact ... maybe not proper airflow...
What is your cooling setup like?
Air / Water/ Vapo...

If you have proper cooling, you probably don't have enough Vcore or the processor is at a wall. Sorry.
