BSOD Randomly, STOP: 0x000000F4 Error

Arturkaa · 03 Feb 2015

Sometimes i do receive error message when i start my pc :

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.

If you continue to receive this error message, contact the hardware manufacturer.
Status: 0xc00000e9

Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.

**Error message ends**

The compute tries to boot up with the windows screen loading (but windows icon is missing), but it fails to boot and it takes me a screen where it says repair computer or start windows normally.

No matter what I try, whether it is to repair, safe mode, last known good config, etc, it always results in the same error shown above, or it eventually says no bootable media, etc.

0xC00000E9
STATUS_UNEXPECTED_IO_ERROR

Technically it reads as: If an I/O error that is not defined in the standard FsRtl filter is returned, it is converted to the following error, which is guaranteed to be in the filter. In this case, information is lost; however, the filter correctly handles the exception.

It does not fall within the scope of BSODs .... but you may follow Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 .... may be it will help you to determine the source of the issue.
