BSOD soon after starting up, STOP 0x00000F4
My Lenovo Y470 laptop has been experiencing BSODs with increasing frequency in the past month. It used to be once every 4 days or so at the start, now it's occurring almost every time i boot up. Though, if i manage to boot up smoothly and all is well within the first 10 minutes, it will not BSOD for the rest of my day's usage (7 hours or so).
Error in Blue Screen is STOP 0x00000F4.
Things i've noticed:
desktop screen will lock up and the taskbar will disappear, then sometimes
1) Microsoft Security Essentials pops up from the bottom right showing a red bar, indicating it has stopped real-time protection.
2) if it doesn't blue screen, pressing caps lock will make the light light up but nothing works. Ctrl + Alt + Del only makes the screen go black and come back on again. Have to hard reset.
Occasionally after BSOD reboot it will run CHKDSK which i let it and it completes itself smoothly.
Attached is the file generated from SF disgnostic tool.
