BSOD BCCode: f4 on startup (random)

Arc · 07 Nov 2013

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

Click on the Start button
Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
Select the “Startup” tab.
Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
Apply > OK
Accept then restart.

Now see how it runs?

Arc · 07 Nov 2013

a340500 · 07 Nov 2013

Just had a second crash today..
I hope its not turning into a hardware issue as its the first time with another BSOD in a day..

Arc · 09 Nov 2013

It is still a stop 0xF4.

Are you sure that SSDs are running the the most latest firmware? Make it sure again.

Update Asmedia sata controller from Station-Drivers - Asmedia. The driver is not yet up-to-date.

Make it sure that the HDDs/SSDs are screwed properly and those are fixed. Make it sure that the SATA and Power cables are all connected properly.

I see that you havent uninstalled Acronis. It is a must step in troubleshooting.

a340500 · 10 Nov 2013

Hi Arc,

I have uninstalled Acronis and updated the ASMedia USB controller drivers as well.

I downloaded the Asmedia ASM 106x SATA Controller Sata6G (Drivers) from the website you provided but the date of the drivers are still 26-Dec-12 although the version is the latest (V1.4.1.0)
For the life of me I have no idea why that is..pls see screenie attached.

Hopefully I have covered all that you requested. I truely forgot about the uninstal Acronis part..

Cheers,
Marz

a340500 · 11 Nov 2013

I have also checked all the SATA connections and the 520 series SSD's are already current with the 400i firmware.

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...&DwnldID=18455

Intel® Solid-State Drive Latest Firmware Version
Intel® Solid-State Drive 520 Series 400i

After 3 reboots so far, no BSOD.
I suspect Acronis may be a contributor here.
I will continue to monitor

Cheers
