Hi, I'm bit of a noob in terms of event viewer. I had quite a few apps open and was playing a game (battlefield 2042). The fps didnt drop or anything then the pc shuts down for no reason. I checked in event viewer. This is what it showed me:

A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Cache Hierarchy Error
Processor APIC ID: 2

And this is the XML view.
