BSOD 0x000000f4 when I'm playing games and happens randomly often

Based on what you posted it sounds like your HDD is dying, that coincides with the facts that no dumps are being recorded and the bug check code.

   Warning

The Following Method Should NOT Be Performed On An SSD!

Testing the HDD:

1. Perform a Disk Check | Disk Check
2. Then Post the results following | THIS METHOD
3. Download SeaTools for DOS if you don't want to use a CD to test the HDD you can use YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator to create a bootable USB (instructions are found at the bottom of both pages).
4. If SeaTools for Windows is unable to recognize your HDD visit HDDdiag and follow the instructions.

If SeaTools For DOS does not recognize the drive;
Boot into the BIOS using the *Fx key.
Look for an entry called SATA Mode (or something similar), it should be set to IDE / AHCI.
It's probably set to AHCI which is why SeaTools doesn't recognize them in the DOS environment.
Set it to IDE then save and exit usually by pressing the F10 key.
Now boot into SeaTools and it should detect the drives.
Start the Long Test and let it run.
Upon completion don't try to boot into Windows as it will only result in a BSOD, go back into the BIOS
and change the SATA setting back to what it was in the first place.

• *Popular BIOS access keys.

Post back with the results.

I'm sorry but the disk check wasn't carried out correctly, the C: partition is in use so you need
to jump to execute OPTION 2 of the tutorial and using the /R switch.

Please try again and continue with the rest of the tests :) .

Also follow this tutorial to make sure you have a Kernel dump configured (which is the default setting).

• Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

Free up at least 5GB of space in your C:\ partition, you only have 1.36GB of free space.

May I ask what is partition A:\ used for?
