You need to update it. Unfortunately I dont know a better source than Station drivers. If you know any better source, you can explore it there.

Stop 0xF4 BSODs are there, too.

Code:

BugCheck F4, {3, fffffa800bad5b30, fffffa800bad5e10, fffff80002b7f270}

It will attempt to recover the HDD as far as it can.

If it is recovered, good for the time being. But plan to have a different one, and back up all your dear data.

But if it fails to recover the HDD, get a new one as soon as possible.
