Reinstallation of windows may not help. Because a stop 0xF4 is basically a storage related issue.
But if there is any program (Like backup tools, defraggers, file system monitors of antivirus programs ect) that is causing the issue but not coming into notice, then a clean reinstall may be helpful. Otherwise not.
The next step should be to open the laptop to look at the SATA cables; but that may violate the warranty. Is it still in warranty? Let us know.
