    It happened again, this time an 0xF4.

    C drive is running out of storage space.

    Code:
    Drive    C:
    Size    84.88 GB (91,134,881,792 bytes)
    Free Space    6.38 GB (6,851,915,776 bytes)
    Make it at least 12 GB free ... then see how it goes.

    I managed to free up 14 GB of space on the C: drive, but it went BSOD shortly after that. Very frustrating.

    Now, dismantle the computer. Open all the attached hardware from teh motherboard other than the CPU and heatsneak. Make it sure there is no loose screw holding the hard disks. change the sata cables, and apply the sata cable to any other unused sata port on the motherboard. Re-seat the RAM and graphics card.

    See it it changes anything. Let us know.

    I've reseated the components I was able to get my hands on since my laptop can't allow thorough dismantling without breaking the case (at least that's the current state of it, I don't know how to properly open it up). I took this report after a few BSODs and it seems that if I don't hold my laptop correctly when I move it around it goes haywire. Also when I close the lid (I made it so that nothing happens when I do that) it'll most likely go BSOD.

    If your post #7 and post #5 are valid statements, and still this BSOD happens when you close the lid, you have two more things to do.

    1. Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

    1. Click on the Start button
    2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
    3. Select the “Startup” tab.
    4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
    5. Apply > OK
    6. Accept then restart.

    2. Disable hibernate. Hibernate - Enable or Disable
    It is needed because the C drive is running out of free space, and there is not enough space for the hiberfile, which results in stop 0xF4 BSOD.

    No code has to be inserted here.
    Also try to salvage some more space there. Hard Disk Space - Free Up and Recover

    Report us for any further BSOD after doing these, also let us know how much space you salvaged there.

    I've managed to free up to 16 GB of free space. Just FYI I was having a very hard time getting this one done because my laptop kept BSODing every time I try to open Firefox. Hopefully there won't be any more problems after this.
