BSOD When Running Certain Games, Error 0x000000F4
Greetings everyone. I would greatly appreciate some help with this issue. The BSOD that I am currently receiving is: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800B616880, 0xFFFFFA800B616B60, 0xFFFFF8003390350). I seem to receive this issue only when playing certain games such as XCom: Enemy Unknown or the new ShadowRun Returns.
I attempted to set up a small memory dump so that I could attempt to analyze it with a program but at the BSOD it is saying:
Collecting data for crash dump...
Initializing disk for crash dump...
Physical memory dump FAILED with status 0xC0000010
By way of background, I experienced a similar issue approximately 8 months ago, (I was receiving an F4 BSOD error but I do not remember if the numbers in the parentheses were the same), whenever I would run my virus scan (Microsoft Security Essentials) or play certain games. I was told by my computer manufacturer that it was probably due to a bad windows update install and to reformat the computer. I reformatted the computer and have not had the error repeat until within the last month or two. In the interim, I swapped out a 1 GB NVIDIA GT520 for a XFX AMD R7870 2GB Black Edition.
Please let me know where to go from here as I would like to determine if this is a hardware or software issue so that I can finally get it fixed and if anyone needs anymore information about the PC please let me know. I attached the SF Diagnostic Tool Zip as requested.
Thanks,
DIEM7
Edit: Originally, this error seemed to be occurring intermittently only when playing certain games as I described above. However, as of today, the error now seems to be occurring consistently whenever I boot up any game including games that I have not had BSOD problems with previously. I have not noticed it occurring otherwise thus far.
