Hello, When I'm playing games, my pc crash without a reason, getting grey background and a BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sound xD
I checked logs, and I got this error :

A fatal hardware error has occurred.

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

The details view of this entry contains further information.

PC SPECS :
FX6300@3.5GHz ( with deepcool cooler )
RX570 Aorus 4GB
16GB RAM DDR3 1333MHZ
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 R2
Corsair CV450 80 Plus Bronze 450W
 
Most likely is that low end psu,the RX 570 can draw power in spikes which may end up to this result. It really is the CV series? Which on it's own is not that old which means you changed psu already ..... and why?

The pc is clean as well?

The ram comes from one kit?

yes, it is a corsair psu and it's kinda old.
yes is clean
I have 4 sticks of ram, 4*4
 
Is the system stable (not crashing) when not playing games or doing other graphically intense work?

How old is that Corsair CV450 PSU?

Heavy gaming use - correct?
when i'm not playing games, is stable, I mean I can render in blender & sony vegas without any issues.
idk, about 3 or 4 years
if little nightmares and gta v are heavy games, yea.
