Sorry, I messed up the po.st

Having an issue with my Asrock z77 Extreme 4 mobo with a sandybridge core i5. Also a Corsair 850W PSU with 8 GB of kingston DDR3-1333 ram.

I have had this setup for around 3 years, but recently decided to overclock it- I did a stress on ther machine with CPU-z and it did well. Also the system is watercooled.

Now today when I try to start my computer, the windows 10 logo comes up and It gives me a message WHEA uncorrectable error - then it restarts and sometimes give the message MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION.

I reset the settings to defaults in the bios, took out the video card and used the onboard HDMI output. Also tried removing RAM and replacing.
Did an online search tried increase the CPU voltage at various levels but nothing changes the outcome.

I managed to find on online mini win xp boot disc and did a memtest on my RAM and found one DIMM was bad, removed it but the error still pops up on bootup of the OS. I also tried a windows recover bootup USB and results are the same.

Not really sure what to do other than replace components.

Also my chip temps at around 30 degrees, and the system worked flawlessly before this with no issues whatsoever.

What do you guys think?

not able to boot into my OS at all.
Stuck with an infinite loop.
Tried making a windows 10 bootable USB from another windows 10 machine and th same error codes come up.

Also tried booting with Hirens bootcd- onto a bootable USB but the SFC command does not work in the mini XP command prompt.

Any ideas?

Hey man, I've had a similar issue to that before, and my thought, is that it's possible that when you reset defaults, it reset to factory defaults, but your RAM XMP settings did not, i'd disable XMP in the bios, and see what happens, (I say this cause my new z170 board from gigabyte defaults to the XMP profile for my ram, and I had to disable that, before I was having the same error's.
