Multiple crashing - "STOP: 0x000000F4", blue screen with white script.
Hi,
Have read the instructions at: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions tried to download the SF_Diagnostic_Tool, but it seemed to hang. There are several enquiry posts on that thread which have not been addressed I also noticed. I do not know which other 'configure dump file settings' will be likely to shed some light on my crashes.
My dual core 32 bit, Windows 7 Home Premium (4GB Ram) which I upgraded to several years ago - away from Vista - is now crashing on a regular basis, at least once a day. I get the following.
"STOP: 0x000000F4" blue screen with white script.
The pc will restart after about 10-20 minutes if I let it stand. The full blue screen crash seems to happen when I have one or several browsers open. Activities will suddenly freeze, the clock will stop, the mouse become unresponsive, then a complete freeze, then after about 30 seconds, blue screen.
Is there a pc log to tell me what is going wrong & how I can correct whatever it is that is causing these crashes please? The crashes are becoming more frequent over the last 3 months or so.
For the record, my Windows 7 is now less stable than Vista was, crashes more often, crashes playing music (wav), crashes playing videos (Power DVD), and blue screen crashes when I surf the Internet.
I am pretty sure Win7 compiles some form of "crash dump" record before it restarts. Please specify or kindly suggest which crash recording module will tell me what is happening here?
Many thanks,
Ric
