Fedora 17 DVD x86_64 Machine Check Error - Unable to Install

AndyCh · #1 13th June 2012, 03:21 AM

Hi, I would like to ask, anyone has an idea what's wrong with my situation here?

When I tried to install Fedora 17 DVD x86_64, it always says Machine Check Error and then system reset (automaticly rebooted)

My system are:

Intel Core i7 2600k
MSI Z68MA-ED55 Motherboard
G.SKILL Perfect Storm: F3-16000CL8D-4GBPS (2Gx2)
Corsair SSD

I didn't overclock my system, all running it's default.

I tried to dd the Fedora 17 DVD x86_64 .ISO to a Flashdisk, but still getting the same issue.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

I would see how a live cd behaves

the Live CD has no problem, even now I installed from the Live CD, but I would like to install from the DVD media.

At what point does this happen?

I would like to re-install my Fedora 17 using DVD media, but always getting 'machine check error' issue when booting from DVD.

Have you been able to verify the the DVD?
Can you boot it in a different machine if you have access to one?

AndyCh · #7 13th June 2012, 04:46 AM

the .ISO is verified, the burned DVD is verified, even I tried to 'dd' .ISO to a Flashdisk and verify it, but all got the same issue.

different machine not yet tried, this is the only PC I got, the others are Apple Macintosh.

I think the problem is my motherboard is UEFI-based. How to fix this issue?

I could not get this installation boot screen:

and always getting 'machine check error' message.

Are you trying to boot from an usb 3.0 port?

Please check your memory with Memtest86+, because the 2600k only supports 1333 MHz ;-)

Try to boot in non-UEFI mode. The board should have a boot menu by pressing F11 or something like that.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue.

1. I installed the fedora, all the packeages are loaded. Installing the packages took around 20-30 minutes.

2. After that the it prompted me to restart.

3. I clicked on restart and then the system got restarted, when it was about to open the
fedora firstboot screen, I got an error.

Error:- Disk check error

The system restarts and again the same "Disk check error".

Is this problem bec' the installation didnot happen correctly or any specific reason???

During the installation I clicked on "Shrink existing space". Now I opened the system using another windows OS. There shrinked and allocated space is not visible.

Please, provide me a solution for this. I got really troubled with this and there is no where providing me the exact solution.
