A BCC F4 is in most cases I've seen a Hard drive/Storage issue.
I've come across many past threads with OP's having a SSD and Code F4, a simple firmware update fixed the issue.
If you search our forum you'll find many threads solved by a firmware update.
Here are examples:
Ya I might do the clean install and go from there. Thank you for the help, I'll keep you posted after the clean install and see if it repeats itself.
MetalCanadian, a firmware update sounds difficult and for some reason the manufacturers make it sound that way. It is normally a very easy and quick process. I updated the firmware on 3 SSDs in 3 different computers in less than 10 minutes if that gives you an idea. Try the Linux method, it will normally do it and, I think, will do it to an OS drive. Since the Linux is bootable, it runs from ram so you are not updating the same drive the firmware is running on.
Before I run the firmware update, I found this Annoyances.org - Bsod caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe (Windows 7 Discussion Forum) . It talks about the exact same errors I am having and the codes match up to what I pulled up with BlueScreenViews.exe. Its says a BIOS error, what are your thoughts on that?
I don't trust BlueScreenView.
We use WINDBG to analyze the files.
BSOD Analysis - Getting Started
Ah alright I'll give that one a try
OK followed the instructions, initiated the BSOD, now I can't find the .dmp files to run through the program. I was assuming that once I entered the CMD entry it would go through straight to the .dmp files. Or am I missing a step?
I'd recommend to give the firmware update a go before getting down to all this.
Have you checked the links in my post #11.
If the firmware update does not fix these problems, we can continue troubleshooting/debugging.
Follow this: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.
Search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
Great news! I pulled it out of sleep with NO BSOD, the firm ware update did it. I will try a couple more times and if it works I will mark this as solved. Thank you so much for your help koolkat77, essenbe, and Layback Bear. You guys are life savers!
Thanks for the update.
To make sure everything is OK, keep the thread open for 1 week.
Good luck :)
