Is it my mobo fault or my PSU? Or just software? It gives me a machine_check_exception in the BSOD which i'm confused..

If it works fine is safe mode, chances are windows is fucked somehow.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Have you done memtest86 for the RAM? I had similar issues once, a stick had gone bad.
I need around tree fiddy.

Ok now my PC just reboots and reboots without even going into POST. Went into POST once, booted to windows, and hung the shit there.

two things you want to check first while troubleshooting your PC is RAM and PSU, because if either is faulty you can't even start testing for anything else.

start with memtest86 as DonFck suggested, run it for several hours at least.
if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.

Especially the 'fails to post' part.
