Arduino Uno R3 Error avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00/0x30

So i started getting the stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00/0x30 error when i try to upload a sketch to Arduino Uno R3. I looked online and I checked the com ports and tried other one, swapped out the USB cable and reinstalled the drivers to no avail.

The loop back test sent back any text i sent it under the serial monitor.
Led 13 lights up
Power LED lights up
LED 13 flashes when I press reset?

Did i damage the voltage regulator or something else?
Can someone please help me troubleshoot this?

below i included the verbose text for the failed upload from the arduino program
