BSOD at unexpected times, error 0x00000f4

The only one crash dump present in the zip is not a stop 0xF4 one, but a stop 0xA.

Code:

BugCheck A, {80, 2, 1, fffff800034ccdff}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for aswSP.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for aswSP.sys
Probably caused by : aswSP.sys ( aswSP+13164 )

It was caused by Avast. To deal with it, you need to uninstall Avast using Avast Uninstall Utility. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

A stop 0xF4 is basically a storage related error, and that might be caused by the storage filter by Avast alongwith some other reasons. So after uninstalling Avast see how it goes. Report us for any further BSOD. We will take the necessary steps depending on the situation.

Hi,

Thanks a lot Arc,
I think this worked but i will leave the thread open for a bit longer because it could be just for a while.

Yes, it is the time to wait and observe.

Yes, the same issue continues.

Code:

BugCheck F4, {3, fffffa800808eb30, fffffa800808ee10, fffff80003776940}

----- ETW minidump data unavailable-----
Probably caused by : csrss.exe

We already mentioned about some other reasons. Let us check them one by one, OK?

First, uninstall Virtual CloneDrive. The SCSI adapter installed by it may cause such an issue.

Next, let us check the HDD itself. Test your HDD using Seatools.

SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

Take both the short generic and long generic tests.

Let us know the results.

Also, try to observe if the BSOD tends to occur during wake up from sleep, or at any random time.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, I will try it out now.

I have noticed that bluescreens tend to come after I have used my laptop for a while, both of the times it was during a youtube video. Don't know if that is a coincidence or not.

The point is noted, and actions (if needed, depending on the HDD test) will be suggested after seeing the HDD test result. :)
