bsod code 9c

[vectisitch]

Hi. So this morning I came down to my pc off. It now just freezes on the windows icon loading screen. I tried to do a fresh install and got a bsod code 9c. Could the cpu be fried? I then tried to reinstall using raid 0 on 2 ssds, win install files loaded to the win lead screen then froze again

I reset to default in case it was an overclock problem. Same thing. It just hangs on win load screen. I wax thinking the cpu may have died??

Memtest running now. I as I said I have taken off the overclock for now. I think I have a parted magic disc somewhere. If it boots up with that then can I assume the cpu is working ok?

Memtest was ok. I tried running a cronies to recover.again it locked up as soon as acorns started. I have ab acronyms boot disc so I tried that and it still froze. I'm thinking the cpu is bad

Does the pc need to be booted into windows to use that ?

Just tried another drive I had with win 7 installed. same thing win loading screen and it freezes so it's not the ram or hard drive

As I said I have reset the defaults so it's running at stock. Still freezes

unplugged evrything and took out 3 rams sticks. put in a different gpu, still froze then bsod 9c. it has to be the cpu???? anyway i just bought another 2600k from the mm. if not i can resell it. thoughts???

More volts made no difference

got the new 2600k today and it works again,so it was a dead or nearly dead cpu. i took the waterblock apart and it was quiet blocked so i'm assuming it got too hot while mining
