    BSOD After playing witcher 2 0x000000F4


    I was running a few windows of firefox, started witcher 2 and the system froze so i hit the restart button and have received a 0x000000F4 BSOD that i cant get past.
    I've been playing the witcher 2 for about 2 weeks so didnt happen from first play.

    *cant boot to safe mode as it goes to bsod also
    *tried last known good config no luck
    *tried the restart loop tutorial but it did not work
    *ran memtest found no errors

    Pulled my computer apart and cleaned out all dust, reseated cpu and ram and gpu.

    I was able to chose the dont auto restart on system failure and got this info from the bsod.

    stop: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003,0xFFFFFA8009208B30,
    0XFFFFFA88009208E10,0xFFFFF80002783510)

    computer specs are windows 7 64bit SP1
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    GTX 275 GPU
    2x500GB seagate HDD

    im unable to access windows or safemode, i can access mini xp in hirens though. It has bluescreen view installed, im unfamilier with minixp so is there a way i can create the dump file? I can access windows folders.

    I can also conclude that is has nothing to do with hardware as i put the hdd in another machine and it did the exact same thing. I ran seagate hdd test and chkdsk and no errors were found.

    Sorry that I missed that in your first post.
    Try these free, bootable malware tests: Free Online AntiMalware Resources

    You can zip up the contents of C:\Windows\Minidump and upload it with your next post (using Hirens).

    Did you run Memtest for at least 3 passes?
    Did you run the Seagate long/extended test? (not the short/quick one)

    Can you get into Startup Repair? If so, try it 3 times, rebooting between each attempt.

    after exhausting every option i just opted for a reinstall. I was able to back up all my files by accessing the HDD in mini xp so at least i didnt lose anything..

    Its up and running smoothly now just transferring files and installing progs.

    I cant say if its related although the day it crashed i got a missed call from a local number. For some strange reason i decided to search the number in google to see if it was a business and i traced the number to a town in Romania. I live in Australia so obviously that was suspicious

    Im guessing they were going to redirect the phone call with me thinking i was calling a local number. Dont know how they got my number maybe some account i had got hacked and they retrieved my details.

    Well despite the need to backup and then reinstall everything, there's a benefit to having a nice, fresh install of Windows!
    Good luck!
