BSOD After opening laptop when left running. 0x000004f

Hello :) .

All your bugchecks are 0xF4 which are storage related.
since you already updated your SSD's firmware let's explore other
possibilities.

• Download Speccy and upload a Screenshot of the summary tab.
• Download TDSS-Killer and scan for rootkits.
• Download Windows Defender Offline and scan for other types of infections.
• Follow this tutorial on how to use the SFC/ SCANNOW tool in Windows.

Post back with the results!

Right couple of other things I need to know, if I may.

What is the sub-model of your Aspire S3?

• Attachment 283298

Stress the CPU for 45 minutes using Prime95 but making sure that the temperatures don't exceed 82°C! Use Speccy to monitor temps then upload a screenshot right before you stop the test.


What intel software do you have installed on the laptop?

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\Intel

Okay!

Sub Model is the Aspire S3 951.

Starting stress test now, will report with results.

Intel software installed is the Intel SSD Toolbox.

Edit: Just got the results. Attached the screenshot

That is really hot, but considering it is while under an artificial work load I can assume
that under normal conditions the CPU temperature won't get as high.

I will consult others about this issue, more help should come sooner rather than later.

Edit:

In the mean time update your Intel drivers by using this online utility.

• Intel Driver Update Utility

Did you have an SSD prior to this one or an HDD?
How long does it take to bugcheck once you open it?
Care to try to replicate the issue while in safe-mode?

• Safe Mode

Let us know the results.

Yes. I replaced an SSD with another SSD.

Takes between 5-30 seconds. And I just tested it out, looks like it happens each time the PC goes into Sleep mode. After it exits sleep mode and goes to the select users page, I select the user and it attempts to 'load' the user, after trying this for several seconds, the PC goes into bluescreen.

No bluescreen in safemode, but also couldn't find an option to put it asleep.

Edit: Also doesn't do it if I put it in hibernate mode.

Right, running Driver Verifier will our next step.
While running Driver Verifier trigger the BSOD in the same manner as before.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.
