Hi there. I've been having somewhat frequent BSODs with various error messages. This is occuring *after*, not during, gaming sessions. The info attached is from playing Civ5 for a few hours, quitting, leaving the room, and seeing the BSOD. The message was "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH." Just now I had another from playing Diablo 3, minimizing, and a couple minutes later crashing (no .dmp file, "dumping physical memory to disk" stuck at 95 for 30+ minutes). The error was "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL."
Another problem occured after this last one. After booting to desktop, the computer immediately crashed to a blue screen. I didn't get a chance to see this message; the computer shut down. It then attempted to power on a few seconds later, and then shut down. It continued to power cycle like this until I flipped the power in the back. Nothing shows on the monitor. It's done this before too, though it occured again after playing a game last time. I believe it showed "IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL."
Now on to some other notes:

Now on to some other notes:
- I never crash *during* a game, just after.
- The GPU (780Ti) is a few months new. I didn't really see BSODs before it, but it's taken a few months to get this frequent.
- All other hardware is only just over a year old.
- The PSU is a Corsair 850W. Not a cheap one and plenty of power for the new card.
- I uninstalled/reinstalled graphics drivers. Maybe I didn't properly fully uninstall them? (I didn't use a third party program to uninstall)
- Temps are fine. CPU and GPU are not overheating to my knowledge.
- I ran windows mem diagnostic and Memtest86 (8 passes). Everything is clean.
- I've made sure everything is seated properly on the MOBO. Dust has been cleaned regularly.
- I'm not sure why .dmps aren't being created properly. I did have the page file set to "system controlled" on both drives, auto restart off, and set to make a full memory dump. It either freezes on the BSOD or powers off. Just now, as per the guide, I changed the main drive to 1.5x RAM. Hopefully that will help
