    Hi FigNewman,

    I suggest you try to get your system as soon as possible up to date.
    The updates contain several fixes for several problems, there is a chance those updates will solve your problem.

    However, the 0xF4 is usually a crash caused by hard drive problems.
    If updating didn't help, I suggest you run a few hard drive tests.



    Diagnostics Test

     HDD TEST


    Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums

       Note
    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.


    Run chkdsk

    Run HDTune to
    • scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
    • check the health,
    • benchmark.

    It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
    Let me know what the results are
    • of the error scan,
    • make a screenshot of the health of every hard drive and post the screenshots,
    • post screenshots with the benchmark of the

      • access time,
      • burst rate,
      • cpu usage.

    ok, I ran chkdsk and Seagate, it didn't turn up anything. The error log for Hd tuner showed no errors.
    I was able to update after I ran the chkdsk and haven't had a crash since. I'll post the screens to be safe.

    Hey,

    I'm still running into errors and every one has had a different code. One was the same as the original post. I also got a 0x000007a and one or two others. I've posted an updated zip.

    Alright, I checked the port on the hard drive and it had all its pins. There was no apparent damage to the cable. I couldn't get a good look at the connection on the motherboard so I'm gonna switch the hard drive over to one of the other ports and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't, can I safely assume that it's the cable?

    If the cable is properly connected then my thought would be that it is the cable.
