CPU or Motherboard dying?

[zevans]

I am trying to do a fresh install of windows but as soon as I get to the spinning circles, it blue screens with numerous errors such as:

 

whea uncorrectable error

0xc000021a

machine check exception

 

But I can get to the BIOS and change settings as long as I like, but nothing past that. So I am trying to figure out if this is a dead/dying CPU or Motherboard.

 

I have tried:

 

several different sticks of ram, even brand new kit, and i've tried in different slots

Different SSDs

SSD with windows already installed

reset CMOS

 

Hardware:

i7-10700
NZXT N7 Z490

try something like memtest86 and post the results here for further troubleshooting help.

I can't get past anything beyond the BIOS. Just dead in the water after that.

Memtest can be made into a bootable, try booting that from bios
