BSOD - random. STOP error 0x000000f4
Hello,
I recently bought a new laptop. After a few weeks I started getting random BSODs. At the time I though this is related to VMWARE and other stupid things I have done. I did re-install Win7 after that and BSODs disappeared for about 2 weeks. Now they're back again.
My laptop has a 22Gb SSD on which I keep (only) Win7 installation. There is another 750Gb drive on which the rest of the data is stored.
The STOP code is 0x000000f4. I did a lot of google-ing and the one thing I found is that this is a very unpleasant crash code to get
I will note that these crashes come randomly. There might be hours apart, or, like today - after I first booted my system.
The symptoms are: the system starts to freeze. Applications become unresponsive. And then the mouse cursor freezes. It stays like this a few seconds and then the BSOD ensues. At one point I noticed I could navigate on my HDD partitions while I could not navigate on my SSD one.
Windows event logs are incredibly un-useful At the moment of crash there's no events logged. The minidumps tell me that there was a page fault in either csrss or wininit. Sometimes it will tell me that I/O could not complete (assuming to restore the pages).
Disk checks - OK, Memory checks - OK. Tried to load a lot on the SSD to simulate a crash and nothing.
