I built my PC around Christmas time and Its been working GREAT. I love it... I do homework, work related stuff and everything else like web browsing and playing games on it.
Everything is new, or within 4 months and I get an error today.

I was playing a game and the PC froze, nothing happened then a blue screen with Machine Check Exception as the last thing, it said it needed to gather information. After 2 hours of it being at 100% and nothing, I powered my machine off and since then it hasn't turned on. Its plugged in the same way it always has, I turn on the power but BIOS doesnt boot. Just blank black screen. There was ONE time in maybe 50 tries that windows popped up, but before it could load properly the same thing, Machine Check Exception.

I don't know what to do to fix the issue, I have some important documents that id like not to lose, but as long as the PC works it should be fine with me.

Ive tried multiple things like removing the disk drive as many people suggested, completely remove and clean the power supply, check for any cables that arent in the right place, nothing has fixed my issue.

I have Windows 10 disk(I know, I don't like it either, that has a bunch of problems within itself that bug the hell out of me) but it doesn't seem to do me any good as It doesnt give me the ability to launch from the disk or reload windows.

Anything you guys can think of?

RAM, take it out and try booting with one at a time until it boots.

EDIT
to add detail. A motherboard won't POST(or show bios, or boot, etc)(to clarify, won't do anything at all really, you would hit power button, light might pop on, but then turn off. no MOBO beep for Post) if a single RAM module isn't inserted all the way or is malfunctioning. it isn't a hard drive issue if it isn't posting or booting into bios, but it could also be a PSU, Motherboard, or CPU issue. Out of all of those, RAM is easiest to check, and only the PSU is more likely to be the issue followed by motherboard and then the cpu. But testing Mobo and CPU can be tricky to see if they are the issue.

It could be a GPU issue if it is posting, but isn't displaying anything. So listen to see if mobo beeps/fans run/etc

If I am misinterpreting the symptoms, then post what you experience in more detail. What lights turn on, do fans turn on, do you hear beeps, how long anything does anything.

Sorry for not replying to the post, my laptop is currently updating so I can't use it to reply.. I'm on my cell.

Okay so the motherboard turns on, the cpu fan turns on, gpu fan turns on as well.
All of the fans are on and moving fast

Do you hear a beep made by the motherboard when turning it on?
