Two BSODs in two days...is my mobo going down?

[BoaConstrictor]

Hi guys,

I've had two BSOD errors (and multiple crashes with each), at random over the past two days.

The first BSOD said "APC INDEX MISMATCH" and the second said, "MEMORY MANAGEMENT PROBLEM".

This is very concerning to me because the last time I started getting frequent BSOD crashes with various errors was on my previous PC where the motherboard eventually went kaput.

I've ran scandisk, disk cleanup, and system file checker so far....

If anyone has any ideas, that would be helpful.

Run memtest86 for at least a couple of hours. First thing I always do if I have suddenly occurring BSODs is to check all of my HDDs with a test from the manufacturer and several hours of memtest86.

I agree.. I'd check the hard drives.. If you can, I'd slave the primary from another computer, make a copy of all the data then check the entire disk. I'd also do a check on the drivers and bios

Every time we have a system come in with BSODs it is almost always RAM/HDD or a failing PSU. Often the OS is then hosed from BSODing so much. Rarely is it something else such as a Mobo or CPU or something.

Update: Last night I pulled out all my ram, let it sit for a while, put it back in and haven't had a crash since. Could reseating the ram had any effect?

Both hard drives passed all disk checks...

Haven't ran memtest yet... (I need to leave it overnight but it will trouble me when sleeping cause of the bright lights in the case and the whirr of the fans)

What do you check for drivers and bios?

double post sry

I use system mechanic and driver detective for those things. RAM has always been on the top of my checklist when hardware goes bad.

You need to run memtest86 overnight. I would.
