1207054 2011-06-05 08:18:00 Over the past two weeks or so I have been getting intermittent BSOD, the latest was APX_INDEX_MISMATCH.

I don't have a rescue DVD made yet but there is the option to burn original config to a DVD.

I believe it to be a driver problem from what little research I understand. Before I spend hours on the phone to ACER support does anybody have any ideas?

Also on this machine I can't get into the eRecovery Management - the option just takes me into eSetting management.

I would be grateful for any help....

1207055 2011-06-05 08:44:00 You mean APC? If it can still get into windows, run bluescreenview. What does it say, is the cause?

www.nirsoft.net Is the latest BIOS on it?

Does it crash when someone is using a DV / video camera?? It looks like this BSOD is common with DV / or firewire devices

1207056 2011-06-05 09:04:00 This is one of a number of faults and when it reboots, usually by itself, it works fine until the next time.

No new hardware

I did system restore back to the oldest available (about a week or so - is that normal?) but it didn't fix it.

1207057 2011-06-05 09:06:00 So did you install bluescreenview if you can still get into windows? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1207058 2011-06-05 09:14:00 Yes I did Chris Randal (521)
1207059 2011-06-05 09:23:00 And what does it say is the cause? If it shows anything? Does it have firewire / or is it used for transferring video? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1207060 2011-06-05 09:27:00 Caused by driver ntkrnlpa.exe Chris Randal (521)
1207061 2011-06-05 09:33:00 k. And what about firewire. Does it have firewire and does anyone use a DV cam? And what version of windows is it? Disable auto restart as well. If you havent yet Speedy Gonzales (78)
1207062 2011-06-05 09:38:00 No firewire as far as I know and no DV cam.

How do I disable auto restart?

I'm wondering if a full driver update using one of these programs: is required?

I've just had a look at the report from that BSOD program and the one thing is common is the above driver.
