Random BSOD: STOP 0x000000f4
Hi all.
Just built my new system 3 weeks ago:
Windows 7 Home Premium Retail 64-bit
i5 2500k
ASrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
8GB G.Skill RipjawsX 1600MHz RAM 9-9-9-24
60GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
MSI GTX 560 Ti 2GB Twin Frozr II
The BSOD has been happening randomly, but most frequently when in Google Chrome. In which case, an error message would appear saying something along the lines of 'Chrome has crashed'. This was shortly followed by a BSOD.
I downloaded BlueScreenView from nirsoft.net and ran the test on my latest dump file. The result came back with this: 476ba0efaf03464f259cb3379b6696cd.png
Something called 'ntoskrnl.exe' is highlighted in red.
What is this file? Is there a fix for this? The only thing on ms 60GB SSD is Win7 and a few programs, therefore a fresh install isn't too much trouble (if a fresh install would be the be all and end all of the issue).
If any more info is required, please ask and I shall provide.
Cheers
Joe.
