I have a custom built pc that has been working flawlessly for about 6 months now. One day as I was playing a steam game I got a blue screen error saying APC index mismatch. I didn't do any updates, change any hardware, or anything along those lines. It got to the point where immediately after the bios screen it would blue screen and restart. I couldn't boot in safe mode or do anything at all so I decided I was going to do a fresh install of windows 10. Even with no os or anything on my hard drive when the flash drive was plugged in just to install windows 10 it would restart before I could do anything which led me to believe it was somehow a hardware issue. I've replaced the hardrive completely, swapped out my memory, tried a new psu, and removed my gpu and just tried on board graphics. None of that fixed the issue so I tore my entire build apart and put a brand new motherboard in and it still blue screens without booting... every time it shows APC index mismatch which from my research looks like a driver issue but idk how that makes sense if the issue was still happening evening with a blank hard drive and no drivers installed. A couple times it showed ntfs.sys is causing the issue which is a Windows 10 file. The few times I was able to get it to boot I tried as many command prompt fixes I could find and I also tried every windows automatic repair feature. I've also tried updating and resetting my bios. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i7 6700k processor
Msi gtx 1070 gpu
Msi z170a gaming m5 motherboard
16gb G skill ripjaw memory
EVGA 650W gold psu

APC stands for Asynchronous Procedure Call, which is a function that runs outside of and separately from the main program under the right circumstances. This generally indicates that there is a disparity between the number of processes that entered the area where the program is running and the number that left. The file system mismatch means that no software can run without damaging the system, and so the Blue Screen of Death appears.

You can only get bsod after booting as win 10 isn't running that soon... if PC isn't booting it has to be hardware as you should at least get the bios flash screen, and no drivers are running that soon.

just listing what you replaced so i can see what it might be:
New motherboard with latest bios
new ram...

Only thing you didn't replace is CPU and case and we can disregard case I think. Since windows refuses to work, I would suggest you try to do this and test CPU out: http://www.tcsscreening.com/files/users/IPDT_LiveUSB/index.html

I can't find any mentions of CPU with the error but as its only thing you didn't swap, might as well test it out and see if its okay before figuring out anything more.
