    The bugcheck was: 0x000000f4


    Hi Guys,

    I just bought a new box few days ago.
    every day (at night) when I was not on the machine it crush and reboots with this error.

    I have noticed you already got this error on this forum but I was not able to find information that could help me solve this issue.

    This is my System:
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 74bit
    CPU: i7 2600k
    MEM: 4x4 DDr3 1600
    SSD: Patriot Wildefire 120gb

    The OS is brand new, most of the applications are located on another network machine, So only MSE and Office 2007 are installed.

    I am not familiar with the Windows Debugger Tool, So I was not able to make much of it.
    In case any of you can find some time to check my dump files, here are some links for all my dump files:
    020812-4648-01.dmp
    020812-4945-01.dmp
    020912-4664-01.dmp
    020912-7831-01.dmp
    020712-4664-01.dmp
    020712-5007-01.dmp

    Any help would be so very much appreciated!


    Thank You

    A windows system process was terminated unexpectedly. Possible causes are hard disk errors... System file corruption... Viruses... Lack of Windows updates... Drivers...
    Thanks to Dave76 for help understanding possible causes.



    Do the following steps and test after each to see if stability increases. Post back your results after each step, and if you get a blue screen crash, upload the files again and await further instructions after we are able to analyze the crash.

    Hi, Thanks for the reply!

    No overclocking was made at any time.. I'll wait for the system to stable for a while first.
    And at this point I have only 1 SSD installed. No other Disks or even a CD/DVD.


    Step 1 - Check Disk

    I ran the Windows Check Disk (it had to be scheduled). Here is a Copy of the results from the Event-Log:
    Text file 2.10.12_checkdsk.txt

    In fact, here is my entire System & Application logs from the last 3 days:
    System System(Last3Days).evtx
    Application Application(Last3Days).evtx


    Basically it happens once or twice a day, so it might take a little while before the next crush.
    Would you recommend me stressing the systems? if so using which application?


    Since, it seems to me the Check Disk went well (no errors) I continued to the next step.

    Step 2 - SFC

    "no integrity violations". screen shot:
    sfc.png


    Since no "no integrity violations" found, I continued to the next step.
    I will now close everything & Start the Mal-ware check. Will report back when done.



    Thanks!!

    I'm back..


    Step 3 - Mal-ware

    The Mal-ware results went fine with No malicious items. Screen Shot:
    malware.png

    My system is brand new, any suspicious activities are made on my old machine.
    I am a network admin, I run this machine secure and isolated with very few software & hardware installed.
    So at this point I think I can skip the System Security Combinations, since most are already installed and configured.


    Step 4 - Windows Updates

    Right now I am still waiting for my new Product Key. So the system is not yet activated.
    But all Security & Critical Updates are already installed.
    Hardware Drivers are installed from CD, So I will now continue to the next step to check the drivers compatibility or maybe newer drivers version.



    *by the way, before I wrote this post I found an article that talks about a known failure of the SendForce Controllers (sf-2281) . The article is in Hebrew.. but here it is:
    HWzone -
    So this gave me the idea to update my SSD FW, following the manufacture instructions:
    Patriot Memory
    Unfortunately this was done few days ago and did not solved the problem.


    Step 5 - Driver Verifier


    Driver Verifier was configured as instructed.
    Waiting for new dump files...

    Everything appears to check out. It may interest you to read the quote by usasma in post #2 of BSOD playing Battlefield 3, just got a new SSD is that the problem ? since you have an ssd, and your crashes may very well be related to your drive.

    Disable driver verifier before doing any steps to increase stability with the ssd.

    Ok Bro,

    I will disconnect the SSH and install a normal disk.
    After installing OS and all I will post the results.

    Thanks for all the help!

    How is the system running after the install on the normal disk?

    Hey, I'm sorry I forgot to reply on time. It was a very long treatment.

    Yes, the machine was working well with IDE installed.
    Meanwhile I sent back the SSD for diagnostic, after few days they said they didn't find anything.

    I gave them the whole machine, they reinstalled a new OS on the SSD and started testing.
    Now listen to what they told me:
    After few more days they called and said they didn't find any problem and that they were about to call me to take it back. But then.. during a restart attempt the machine did not start at all.. no POST and M.B is dead.
    So, I replaced the M.B with a better one (Z68XP-UD4) and since than the machine is working very well with the same SSD.

    So I can only assume there was a conflict with the SSD and some component on the old M.B.

    Finally after it was working for few days I totally forgot to update this post.


    Many Thanks!

    You're welcome.

    Sounds like quite the ride, but I'm glad it was all sorted in the end. Enjoy!
