So for quite a while I've been having trouble with BSOD's, with error messages such as MEMORY MANAGEMENT, PFN LIST CORRUPT, APC INDEX MISMATCH, SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION, and so on.
I ran driver verifier and it came back saying that it thought it was my Nvidia driver. I tried re-installing the drivers, using older drivers, swamping video cards, and even re-installing windows and not installing any drivers. I still had BSOD issues.
I tried running Memtest86+ several times and on the last time i ran it for 34 hours with a total of 30 passes and never once received an error.
I've tried running diagnostic tools on my HDD and SDD, and found no errors with them either.
I've updated the bios on the motherboard and that didn't fix the error either.
I've checked the 5V and 12V output from my power supply and they are both extremely stable.
I've basically run out of Ideas of what the issue could be.
What I have noticed is the problem seems to occur after my system has been off for an extended amount of time (overnight anywhere from 8-16 hours). When I turn on the PC it often blue screens anywhere from 3-10 times on the windows loading screen with varying error messages before finally getting to the log in screen (sometimes it crashes once or twice more after log in). After it is on for a few its stops crashing and stabilizes. I can leave it on for days and never experience a crash, even restart the machine for windows updates and it will come back fine without a crash. So the problem only seems to occur after the machine has been shut down for some length of time.
This has lead me to believe that the problem possibly lies in the mother board and that the reason it acts like this is that maybe some capacitors in the mother board aren't holding a charge when the machine is off and that's why it blue screens several times then stabilizes.
Let me know what you all think, does this sound like a valid conclusion. Should I RMA my motherboard (under warranty still) to ASUS and have them replace it?
