Hi Guys, i've got a fujitsu siemens scaleo P, which i've recently changed the RAM in. It was working no problems for a few weeks, however gave a blue screen of death error "APC Index Mismatch" Anyways, i tried reseating the RAM, rebooted, and it bluescreened again. I tried switching it on, but it just gives this 8 error…

I tried switching it on, but it just gives this 8 error beep from now on.

Can you put the original ram back in and see if this happens?

That beep code is indeed a RAM error. Try the original RAM if you can, if that doesn't work then it could be a motherboard issue.
