Computer crashing AMD Northbridge fatal error

[carlos1251]

Hello!
These are the specs for my computer.
Alright. Yesterday I my computer crashed while I was playing R6:Siege. The screen went black, there was audio for a few second and then it restarted. Everything seemed normal so I hopped back in a game, only for it to restart again. Ever since I haven't been able to play ANY game on this PC. I have tried Overwatch, R6 and The Witcher 3, it always crashes.

Checking the Windows event log I get this error everytime it restarts:
A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor APIC ID: 0

This CPU is pretty old, is it gone for good? Every component (aside from the CPU and the motherboard) are pretty new-ish.

If you check my history you'll see that it isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened with this computer, it seems like I come here every 6 months to complain about it.

It's impossible to tell what the problem is because you haven't provided any details for your setup.

1. What are your system specs?
2. Is windows fully updated?
3. Are you overclocking?
4. What are your temps? CPU, Northbridge, etc..
5. Is there a crash dump file? What does it say?
