Windows 7: BSOD CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION 0x000000f4 ntoskrnl.exe

Hello,

My old work computer has been producing a BSOD crash periodically over the last months. I have a more current machine from my IT group, but I've held onto this machine as a spare/floater so that I can bring a laptop with me to meeting rooms, etc. Part of the deal with my IT department was that I have to look after my "secondary" machine on my own since they are a busy lot.

Anyway, I've attached the .zip with all the scan results. I am fairly savvy with computers but this one has me stumped. I have run 'sfc /scannow' & 'chkdsk c: /r /f' and not found any errors.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this sort crash?

Thank you in advance!
