Random BSOD occuring only in a particular account. Bugcheck code: 0xF4

It depends, usually only a Minidump is needed and it also saves space too, but in some cases a Kernel dump is needed as it provides more information about the crash.

Did the dump file not get saved?

Minidumps will be fine :)

Install and perform a full scan with:

• Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

Run a full scan with your Kaspersky Internet Security program, just to make sure no malware has infected Windows and causing it to crash.

Remember to install the free version of Malwarebytes not the free trail; untick the free trial box during installation

Yep they were not saved today. Not sure why though. I could see the system had abruptly shutdown around 1:10 PM.

Will be trying that malware bytes thingy.

I have initiated the full scan .

I just noted something peculiar and thought I should mention it.
I noticed in the event viewer the BSOD was initiated just after the following two events always occurred
1>>>"File System Filter 'KLIF' (6.1, ‎2012‎-‎09‎-‎25T19:58:18.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager."
2>>>"File System Filter 'FileInfo' (6.1, ‎2009‎-‎07‎-‎14T05:04:25.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager."

All the BSODs have the same events triggered before the BSOD struck.
My brother reported a BSOD just after the login.
I observed the events in that BSOD and I found 3 event before the BSOD struck.
1st was the system start-up
2nd and 3rd were the one I mentioned above.

I goggled this stuff and found it is kaspersky files. I think these are the files causing issues.
My brother also informed me that kaspersky crashed multiple times.

So I am not sure but I think kaspersky is the culprit here.

Remove:

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\Kaspersky Internet Security 2012

Install Microsoft Security Essentials:

Install and perform a full scan with:

• Microsoft Security Essentials | Protect against viruses, spyware, and other malware

MSE is lightweight and free, I haven't seen it cause any problems personally, and it seems to be much more stable with Windows 7 than most other AV programs; keep Malwarebytes installed.

It will be worth testing, and post back your results :)

Any findings from Malwarebytes yet?

Malware bytes detected two malwares . some brewer apps. removed them

I am trying to reinstall KIS 2012 and check if it works .

Okay, and good to know that malware has been removed, have you tested with the new user account yet?

Run a scan with:

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller

Security essentials took time to download. Damn my internet connection.

However I managed to reinstall Kaspersky and no BSOD reported by my bro today.

Thanks for the update, upload any more crashes, hopefully they won't occur :)
