STOP 0x00000080
NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE
The hardware raised a non-maskable interrupt — the platform's way of reporting a serious hardware fault, classically RAM parity or bus errors.
Worth knowing: Hardware-signal code — software fixes rarely apply.
Likely causes, most common first
- Faulty RAM
- Failing motherboard components
- Incompatible hardware
How to fix it
1. Isolate the hardware moderate
- Run MemTest86 from USB.
- Remove recently added hardware (cards, RAM) and retest.
- If it persists, have the board checked.
