Windows 7: Windows seven - BSOD stop 0x000000f4

mcgyver83 · 28 Jan 2010

I have an original Windows 7 dvd and a backup of personal file but I don't want to reconfigure the entire system...
Obviously I can't stay without pc for long time so if I can't restore my system I only have to format and reinstall....

I have uploaded my memory.dmp file (250MB uncompresset,36MB compressed) to http://********************/?d=H9BF0R2P or http://www.filefront.com/15448391/MEMORY.rar
Thaks to all!

Well, the dump file doesn't give us many clues.

It blames wininit.exe - which is a core Windows file.
I'd first suggest scanning the computer for malware - to include the Windows 7 partition. See the quote below for some suggested tests.

Then, please upload this information:

Quote:

MSINFO32:
Please go to Start and type in "msinfo32.exe" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Save the report as an .nfo file, then zip up the .nfo file and upload/attach the .zip file with your next post.

If you're having difficulties with the format, please open an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt and type "msinfo32 /nfo C:\Users\Public\Desktop\TEST.NFO" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then navigate to the C:\Users\Public\Desktop directory to retrieve the TEST.NFO file. If you have difficulties with making this work, please post back.

Please update this very old driver: ctgame.sys Tue Apr 06 20:42:49 2004
It belongs to your Creative Game Port Enumerator. If you cannot find Windows 7 drivers for this card, please uninstall all Creative software, then remove the card from the system.

If this doesn't fix the BSOD's, then I'd suggest these tests:

Quote:

H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)

Additional tests for certain specific circumstances:
Try this free video stress test: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
