Windows 7: Random BSOD,CRITICAL OBJECT TERMINATION ERROR0f4, hal.dll ntoskrnl.exe

OhSoNoob · 11 Feb 2013

I've been getting random BSODs for awhile now, it happens randomly once every couple of days, either when I start my computer or when i'm just using it for daily uses. All my drivers should be all up to date as windows didn't detect anything when I tried to check for updates

You appear not to have activated the OS yet - is there any reason for this?

Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report

Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.
