    iMC what seem to me to be a MC=Memory Controller  and I= Initialize ... so maybe your memory controller is having issues.  I think this is on the CPU/Controller chip itself.

    I do not know how long you have had it or if this is a new install.  If new install it could just be a bent pin on the CPU or the CPU Cooler is on just a tad too tight.  Heck, even a mem. card in not seated. 
    Could try with only 1 mem stick at a time. 
    Good luck

    Have you been overclocking? Have you tried a barebones setup? How about resetting the CMOS?

    I just tried pressing the Clear CMOS button on the back but i still get the same debug code and no post. This might have something to do with what I just did to my graphics card. I had the r9 290 reference card and I replaced the cooler with a kraken G10 bracket and kraken X40 cooler. It was working fine at first after but then started doing this. Tomorrow I will try putting the card back together with the reference cooler and if it still doesn't work I'll call EVGA tech support.

    So I put the card back together and it still didn't work. I called up EVGA tech support and they told me the same thing that it's the memory controller in the CPU and he advised me to test it on another system to see if its the CPU that has died. So tomorrow I will go to the local PC shop to see if they can test the CPU. If it is indeed the CPU that has fried I can have one replaced via the Intel Tuning Protection Plan.

    Hopefully the PC shop can verify the CPU as the issue.  Then like you said, you can get it replaced and get back to enjoying your rig...

    infact, it turned out to be a problem with the GPU afterall. After burrowing my fathers graphics card and throwing it in my rig, it worked perfectly fine.
