[SOLVED] Overclocking resulted in permanent BSOD (Critical process died)

[Flackoko]

Hello, I've attempted to overclock my CPU I7-9700k up from 4.6ghz to 4.9 ghz. It was unable to become stable even with 1.40v (tried from 1.30 all the way up to 1.40)
I kept trying to lower the freq from 4.9 to 4.8 ghz to 4.7 ghz . It kept BSOD giving me Critical Process Died every time i booted up.
Then I tried to run with stock settings by resetting in BIOS, still gave me BSOD. Then I tried to reset CMOS, same result.

Now I am panicking because I am not sure what to do. I can still get into bios, it just wont let me get past bios and into windows.

I hope there's a friendly soul here that can help me

Edit: Forgot to add the first BSOD appeared when I ran P95 stresstesting, 2 seconds after running I got bsod'ed and then I havent been able to boot since then. I am also not able to boot into safe mode

My specs are:

Aorus z390 Ultra
i7 9700k
Rtx 2080 Super
Gigabyte SSD
Corsair vengeance 2x 8gb ram

Use a bootable usb and see if you can boot into linux if so then it's a windows problem.

Currently not an option for me as I just moved and don't have access to a USB, is there anything else you can think of?
Do you know if it is possible to use my android phone as a bootable usb drive? it uses USB-C port and my desktop supports USB-C

Edit: I have USB available with 4gb storage, would that be enough for linux?
