Windows 10: Machine check exception - can't do ANYTHING.

I recently purchased a custom made pc that the guy used for 6 months with no problems. I turned on the pc i switch it to high performance mode and hit restart as it recommended i do so. When it turned back on i got the Machine check exception stop code. I cant do anything. All i can do is force shutdown and turn back on, where i get the same code again and again. I am at a loss on what to do i have looked up typical repair processes but sonce i cant actually use any function of the pc none od them work.


As far as i know i never over clocked the cpu as i did not even run any program yet.


Here is my build.

MSI Motherboard supported Game Mode 6-core boost to 4.4GHz very stable, find no issues in recent games including MHW, AC Odyssey, Anno 1800, Division 2, TF 2, NBA 2k20, RE 2 etc. Further overclocking to 4.8GHz has also been validated 6-core, according to MSI instruction.

Graphic card - MSI Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDRR6 192-bit HDMI-DP Ray Tracing Turing Archetecture VR Ready

Motherboard - MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC LGA1151 Motherboard
