im wondering if my motherboard is dying all it was doing was rebooting
I not a new PSU and sound Card , everything is at stock clocks cpu is 34c
nothing is overheating and I checked my Ram with memtest86 and no errors there
but anyways this is what I got in the event viewer

Explanation

This error indicates that there is a hardware problem. A machine check exception indicates a computer hardware error that occurs when a computer's central processing unit detects a hardware problem.

Note: WHEA stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture.

Some of the main hardware problems which cause machine check exceptions include:

System bus errors (error communicating between the processor and the motherboard)
Memory errors that may include parity and error correction code (ECC) problems. Error checking ensures that data is stored correctly in the RAM; if information is corrupted, then random errors occur.
Cache errors in the processor; the cache stores important data and code. If this is...

System bus errors (error communicating between the processor and the motherboard)
Memory errors that may include parity and error correction code (ECC) problems. Error checking ensures that data is stored correctly in the RAM; if information is corrupted, then random errors occur.
Cache errors in the processor; the cache stores important data and code. If this is corrupted, errors often occur.
Poor voltage regulation (i.e. power supply problem, voltage regulator malfunction, capacitor degradation)
Damage due to power spikes
Static damage to the motherboard
Incorrect processor voltage setting in the BIOS (too low or too high)
Overclocking
Permanent motherboard or power supply damage caused by prior overclocking
Excessive temperature caused by insufficient airflow (possibly caused by fan failure or blockage of air inlet/outlet)
Improper BIOS initialization (the BIOS configuring the motherboard or CPU incorrectly)
Installation of a processor that is too much for your motherboard to handle (excessive power requirement, incompatibility)
Defective hardware that may be drawing excessive power or otherwise disrupting proper voltage regulation
User Action
Update the BIOS and the drivers for the motherboard chipset.
Update all the hardware drivers, if updates are available from your manufacturer.
Check the temperature inside the computer to make sure your processor and related peripherals are not overheating.
Check the fan on your CPU to make sure it is properly attached to the CPU.
If you have overclocked your CPU, reset your settings to the default settings.
Make sure you power supply fan is working correctly
