Computer started to BSOD frequently but Randomly (0F4) no .dmp created

[0bitasy0]

Starting today my laptop has been BSODing about 10 minutes after I log on normally. It doesn't seem to be the result of some program being run, as I only had Skype, Steam, and Google Chrome open each time and all of them were opened when I logged on, not when the BSOD occured. Also, I have followed the advice of solutions in many forums and question boards similar to this one, but to no avail. I have noticed that there are no new dump files in the Minidump folder since a few months ago, even though I have seen the BSOD about 10 times today. I have followed the instructions on how to configure dump settings already. Also, it seems that my computer is mostly fine in Safe Mode, which I am in now. However, sometimes it will freeze and lock up, where I can only turn it off by holding down the power button for a little while. Unfortunately, this is what occurs when I click the Upload File button in the Add Attachments screen. I will see if I can upload the zip file out of safe mode, as I should be able to do it in time before the BSOD. If this is the case, then my next post will have more info.

Any help is appreciated, and thank you.

EDIT: SF files below.
Actually, I've noticed that Safe Mode does not handle as well as my regular computer should. It is slower and freezes up more. I suppose that makes sense, BUT I have actually gotten about two BSODs in Safe Mode if I put it under a lot of pressure, it freezes up badly, and I leave it.

My computer freezes regardless of Safe Mode when I click "Choose File" in the Attachments screen, so I can't upload the SF .zip file. However, I got 1 dump file back after a BSOD, I think it was the one after I tried uploading an attachment under regular settings. I have some information on that. Also, I can simply copy/paste any info you need from the SF report to a reply in this thread, so let me know. Thanks!

EDIT: By power of flash drives and alternate computers, I have attached the SF zip file.

Bug check description: This indicates that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Bump w/ updated SF report. I'd really like to have my computer fixed as soon as possible for school, and thanks again.

Welcome to SF, 0bitasy0 .

You just recently started to get 0xF4 bug check codes, you had several (5) others spanning
from mid-June to early-September, the other two are 0xF4 which are usually attributed to storage issues.

Please test the HDD.

   Warning

The Following Method Should NOT Be Performed On An SSD!

Testing the HDD:

1. Perform a Disk Check | Disk Check- Scroll down to OPTION TWO of the tutorial and use the /R switch in the CHKDSK command | chkdsk C: /R.
2. Then Post the Disk Check results following | This Tutorial.
3. Once back in Windows, download Crystal Disk Info and post a screenshot (multiple shots if you have more than one drive).
4. Download SeaTools for DOS if you don't want to use a CD to test the HDD you can use YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator to create a bootable USB (instructions are found at the bottom of both pages).
5. If SeaTools for DOS is unable to recognize your HDD:
6. Visit HDDdiag and follow the instructions | Or follow the instructions below.

If SeaTools For DOS does not recognize the drive;
Boot into the BIOS using the *Fx key.
Look for an entry called SATA Mode (or something similar), it should be set to IDE / AHCI.
It's probably set to AHCI which is why SeaTools doesn't recognize them in the DOS environment.
Set it to IDE then save and exit usually by pressing the F10 key.
Now boot into SeaTools and it should detect the drives.
Start the Long Test and let it run.
Upon completion don't try to boot into Windows as it will only result in a BSOD, go back into the BIOS
and change the SATA setting back to what it was in the first place.

• *Popular BIOS access keys.

Re-seat the sata and power.

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.

6 steps and I get stuck on #1...
But yeah I had to restart to run the disk check and I instinctively opened in safe mode with networking and it is stuck on the end of the list of Loading Windows Files. Is the check disk running or should I manually turn off and try running it under regular conditions?

EDIT: Nvm Got it to run, will continue and post results when done

 

[YoYo155]

Well it's technically only four .
Awaiting your update .

 

[0bitasy0]

So after i think more than 24 hours of waiting, I come home to a good old BSOD. And now it started over. So.... It'll be awhile before I might get any results

I'm sorry I didn't understand.
What were you waiting for?

 

[0bitasy0]

The disk check was going very slowly around step 4. I had researched and it seems that disk checks especially with the r flag do take a while. But it got interrupted while I was at school by a blue screen and I had to turn my computer off then on and it restarted.

 

[YoYo155]

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up.

Skip the CHKDSK test for now.
Are you able to reach the desktop? If you are please post a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info (step #3).
And continue to step #4, testing the HDD with SeaTools for DOS.

 

[0bitasy0]

I was, but since I started the disc repair safe mode would not be able to get to the login screen as it freezes after loading the list of drivers. When I try to open it up under normal conditions then the disc check automatically starts

 

[YoYo155]

You can skip the test for that boot cycle, it should give you ten seconds to press a key on your keyboard.

 

[0bitasy0]

OK I'll have to try that but I will be busy for a few hours, will come back later with results.

 

[0bitasy0]

Something interesting happened, so I restarted my computer to open up the desktop, but it automatically opened some System Repair that attempted to fix my HDD and it said something along the lines of "If the repair was successful, then Windows will boot up normally. If not, System Repair will reopen and continue to fix the problem." Then, Windows booted up normally. It has not BSOD'd yet. However, it seems (slightly) slower than usual, and then there's uploading. When I try to upload from the afflicted laptop, the menu comes up, but when I click "Choose File..." Google Chrome crashes. When I tried before, to upload my SF report file, my whole computer froze. So that's a bonus.

Anyways, I am on a different computer right now so here is the results of the Crystal thing.

 

[YoYo155]

Combining the fact about your PC being extra slow and apps are crashing along
with kernel bug checks and just to top it off you're unable to perform a CHKDSK
and CDI is showing all those errors.
It appears you have a defective HDD that needs to be replaced :\ .

 

[0bitasy0]

so what happened is the system repair was able to repair the HDD for now but it will most likely be a problem again in the future right?

 

[YoYo155]

It was able to repair the files not the HDD.
Only time will tell but yes I believe so :/ .

Please keep updating.
