Windows 7: Windows seven - BSOD stop 0x000000f4

After a normale use of my pc I shoutdown it.
After I start it but,after win logo i saw mouse pointer for 1 second and immediatly a bsod STOP 0x000000F4
I didn't make configuration change or software install.

I cant find minidump in c:\windows\minidump but a Memory.dmp 255MB file in c:\windows.

I try to boot with seven dvd and repari configuration but,after win installation selection I have the message: "This version of Recovery options system wasn't

compatible..." but is the same dvd that I used for install; maybe the windows update make some mistake?

But the most important thing is how can I restore my system without reInstall?

I can give disk access via windows xp in the same disk (previous windows version)

Hi, Welcome to SF,

Try these steps


Collect Minidump Files
=================
1. Click "Start", input "SYSDM.CPL" (without quotation marks) in the “Search” bar and press “Enter”.
2. Switch to the "Advanced" tab and click the "Settings" button under "Startup and Recovery".
3. Under "Write debugging information" section, make sure the "Small memory dump (128KB)" option is selected.

If the Blue Screen appears again, please refer to the following steps to collect memory dump files:

2. Go to your Desktop, right-click on it and create a new folder named "Dump".
3. Copy all the memory dump files (looks like [Mini092008-01.dmp]) in Minidump to this folder.
4. Right-click on the Dump folder, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder".
5. Please send the ZIP file to us.

Could you post the Dump file so we can take a look of the driver list

But i have already write that the only *.dmp file that i found in my win seven partition (modified or made in this day 2010-01-26) is 255megabyte...i can't post it.
can i post other information tha can help to find solution?

Try this:

Ok, I try to zip it and upload to some file hosting.
For the minidump section i have already set my win 7 to use minidump and the other settings that are write in the page you linked to me but I don't know why in this moment my Windows 7 never make a minidump.. :-(

the error you are getting is usually caused by faulty hardware

I run 4 passes of memtest but no problem, now I'm doing chkdsk on all partition loading pc with win xp on an another partition of disk.

So how can I test my system to detect hardware problem?

some questions

do you have a backup we can restore from?

do you have an original win 7 dvd?

we can get yoou up and running. It may require a clean reinstall. do you have anything you cant live without?
