I7 2700K and ASUS P8P67 Pro problems

My PC won't even boot with all cores enabled. I found that it still works with 3. When I enable all four I'm getting a BSOD pointing to 0x0000009C MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I cannot even get to safe mode with 4 cores enabled. I tried Linux Live CD to find the same problem. I tested RAM, the hard drive and replaced my graphics card with an old PCI card uninstalling all nVidia drivers leaving just the CPU and motherboard as they were. I also updated the BIOS as far as it went. All 3 values of voltages from the PSU seem to be fine. It's a 1000W platinum rated PSU. The motherboard is ASUS P8P67 Pro. Can someone help me getting to the bottom of this?

I cannot update the board with the most recent bios as it's for rev.3 of the board and mine says 1.01. I didn't test limiting the number of cores before updating the bios. PC worked fine all the time untill it suddenly crushed on a startup and then it just kept crushing every time so I doubt it would be a bent pin.
