    BSOD almost every 5 minutes, error 0x00000f4


    Past problem : My computer started giving me BSODs about a month ago. During that time, my computer would not even go past the windows logo before it gave me a BSOD. After tampering with the connections of my hard drives, it suddenly decided to work, so I didn't bother looking it up.

    Current problem : My computer now gives me a BSOD every 5-10 minutes after booting it. It started yesterday when I was playing Diablo 3 when suddenly, my screen froze and a distorted BSOD popped up. I then restarted my computer and after around 5 minutes, many of my programs would close and a BSOD would pop up. I decided to give up for the night. This morning, I booted up my computer and the problem persists, same scenario, same behavior.

    I entered all the information I could find on my computer's hardware before it blue screened again in my profile. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thank you

    All of your dumps (bar the first two in the logs) are 0xF4 which is a Critical Object Termination. They all look as if they're blaming your hard drive.
    Code:
    CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (f4)
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been
terminated.
Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
system; when they are terminated (for any reason), the system can no
longer function.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000003, Process
Arg2: fffffa8007e23320, Terminating object
Arg3: fffffa8007e23600, Process image file name

    Thanks for the reply.
    Since I couldn't run my computer without getting a BSOD after a few minutes, I just switched the connections of my HDD and SSD and booted up my SDD as my primary (nothing has changed, only my connections). Surprisingly, it doesn't BSOD anymore.
    I ran SeaTools and all 3 tests (Short drive self test, short generic and long generic) failed for my Samsung SSD 830 (where Windows is installed) and all of them passed for my other drive.
    I then followed the rest of your instructions and uninstalled STPD.
    Should I replace the SSD?

    No, those tests will show failures on an SSD as they're not designed for them. Test the system for stability for a day or two and report back, maybe a loose connection was causing the issue.
