Various BSODs all hinting towards drivers?

Go through those fixes again.

Hey jmatt,

thank you for your answer!
Sorry what do you mean by that? Googling for APC_INDEX_MISMATCH BSOD fixes?

Allright, I just ordered a new CPU. It will hopefully arrive on saturday.
If that doesn't solve my issues I am kind of out of options/ideas (at least from my side) but lets see what happens :)

Make sure you don't overdo the paste.

If you are using a sound card, test with it out & use the onboard sound jacks/connections.

Hey jmatt, thanks for the instructions. No, I dont use a sound card.

FYI I ordered a 5600x instead of a 3600 and it will arrive tomorrow :) I bought my 3600 for 170€ ~8 month ago and now its like 220€ here in Germany and the 5600 was just 40 above that for 260€.
I will again clean install windows when the new CPU arrives. Just to be on the safe side.

Good thinking.

Hey guys,

I have good news. My BSODs seem to be gone for good this time. It was a rare case of a faulty CPU out of the bag. I had the pc running for ~ 50 hours without any BSOD or WHEA. I already did re-enable the XMP-profile of my RAM-modules and tested for ~ 10 hours without any issues. Everything seems to be fine and I will start to install my most important software and games tomorrow and test for another week or so before installing peripheral software.

Anything else I can provide for you? Some scan or something?

So, most importantly I want to thank everybody who contributed to solving this problem over the last 6 months (yes, 6 months!). Very, very special thanks to jmatt and zbook who put so many hours into this. I do not know, if I would have gotten to the root of this problems and I learned alot from you.

Thank you!
