Machine_Check_Exception, can't figure out what the problem is (probably hardware)

[Mark_2412]

I want to preface this by saying I'm really desperate at this point and I work from home so this is a pretty pressing matter and I will be infinitely grateful to whoever can help me. So basically about 2 months ago my computer froze on shutdown and after manually shutting it down it wouldn't start again, I got a few different BSOD but the most common one was Machine_Check_Exception. After playing around with the fan connectors it mysteriously started again and worked fine for a while except for a few weird things like the motherboard LEDS and PSU fan running after shutdown.

Eventually the BSOD happened again and this time I couldn't fix it so I did a clean install of Windows 10. Everything ran smoothly until tonight when it froze on shutdown again and I got the MCE error. I managed to boot it in safe mode after unplugging my PSU and everything seems fine for now.

One more thing I should mention is that my PSU seems to be making a whining sound at times.
At this point I'm thinking it'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue seeing as it's still happening despite a clean install.
Here are some of the things I've checked :
Clean install W10
Memtest86 (no problem)
Turned off OC on CPU
Reset BIOS settings

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really have no idea what to do at this point, I'm thinking it's either the SSD the PSU or the CPU but my knowledge is very limited so what do I know.

Thanks in advance.

MCE errors also known as Windows Hardware Error Architecture errors are normally the CPU. Can be bios as well so check you have the latest.

Try running this on CPU: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool

Coil whine is a thing on that model: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2240211/coil-whine-corsair-750-atx-power-supply.html

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply. I ran the diagnostics tool and everything passed. In your opinion Is it worth flashing my BIOS at this point or can I assume my SSD might be failing? I really can't figure out what else it could be.

can you download and run who crashed: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will look at bsod as this could be a driver error and who crashed may show which
