Dear Tom's hardware.

I have a problem with my desktop that i hope you can help me with.

Until 2 days ago, my desktop was ok, even tho i occasionally had BSOD (MACHINE_CHECK_EXEMPTION, and IRQ_EQUAL_OR_LESS, might have had a third type but i can't remember that one) then yesterday when i started it it wouldn't boot but continued to go into the windows automatic repair. I tried system restore to earlier dates and even to reset the system, but nothing have been working so far. I ran all troubleshooting suggestions from this list http://windowsreport.com/windows-10-automatic-repair-couldnt-repair-pc/ but without luck. Also tried the SFC command in cmd prompt. No luck. When i disabled Windows automatic repair, booting would result in an error message saying that ksecdd.sys was missing or corrupt, error code 0xc000007b. I have no clue on what to do now, any suggestions?

My specs are:
Intel i7 2,6 GHz 920 4mb cache
ASUS P6T
12gb Corsair DDR3 1600mhz ram
GeForce 1060 GTX 6gb
Samsung 750 evo 250 GB SSD
700w PSU

MCE is a hardware error, normally associated with CPU. IRQ errors are data errors, normally drivers but can be hardware as well.

ksecdd.sys = Kernel Security Support Provider Interface << not a common file to create errors, talks to hardware for windows.

Important. Do not delete or disable it. If you remove it, your computer will start, but Windows won't launch. Easily corrected in safe mode, but could be scary for a newbie, expensive for the non tech savvy, and a hassle for all else. Let ksecdd be.

for MCE error first, follow these steps and test CPU: http://www.tcsscreening.com/files/users/IPDT_LiveUSB/index.html
is your ram in different channels as its an odd amount you have there.

once CPU tested, i think only way to fix...

once CPU tested, i think only way to fix this is a fresh install

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB << if you don't have one now)

change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
