BSOD error (stop x000000F4) + only runs in safe mode Hello,
I've been having quite a lot of issues with my laptop (Inspiron 1545) recently. A few months ago I wasn't able to get into Windows 7 at all, and so quite a bit later (yesterday) I re installed/reformatted Windows 7, and it worked for about a day, but now I am frequently receiving BSOD error 0x000000F4, and now I can't get into Windows without using safe mode, but even with safe mode I am receiving BSOD (quite often, although I've been on for around 30 mins and no problems as of yet).
I know next to nothing about how to solve this, all I know is I use this A LOT, so I wouldn't be surprised if something has melted (or w/e). My laptop is also making a sort of buzzing noise, which I haven't noticed until it started making problems...
By the way, I'm using OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit on an Inspiron 1545, anymore details (as I'm not sure this is enough) then let me know!
Thanks in advance (by the way bear in mind I don't know much when answering please <3).

Yes it does, but the BS is only on the screen for a few seconds and the error is quite long... I'll try to get it all but it may take a while, sorry. | My System Specs | | OS Windows Home Premium 32bit |

Ah this is completely out of my depth. I don't want to spend another day seeing if I have problem number 327 just to find out I could actually have problem 400 up to 800 and having to take my laptop apart to do so.
Thanks for your help, though, I just don't think this is worth my time. | My System Specs | | OS Windows Home Premium 32bit BSOD error (stop x000000F4) + only runs in safe mode problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:38 PM. | |
