0xf4 randomly appearing.

[Eropetter]

I have had this problem for a long time now, and I have tried what I can to prevent it from happening, but to no success..

I get the 0xf4 BSOD both when I am using the computer and when I am not using it. I can see no connection/patterns between the BSOD’s so it bugs me terribly. The frequents of the BS is very random, and I am thinking it might be my hard drive. Just before I get the 0xf4 BS some programs start to freeze, and it can take up to 1 min before the PC stops and it freezes when the 0xf4 is showing so it does not write dump files… When I try to restart the PC using the power switch, it just gives med 0xe3 error message; corrupt/damaged winload file and I have to disconnect the power supply to get it to work. I have changed every hardware in my computer last summer, except my hard drive and RAM. I have tried to Google this problem, but there seem to be many errors connected to the 0xf4 BSOD. I have no problems with the PC elsewhere what so ever, so I hope I can get this really annoying problem out of my world xD

Thanks for taking you time reading this

Best regards

Hey and thanks for fast response!

I have tried the following:

Disk Check on my Hard Drive, found some errors that couldn’t be fixed :/

Reduced items at start-up

Updated all drivers

Installed all windows updates

Run SFC

Scanned with Kaspersky

I have not:

Updated SSD firmware, there is no new update for my SSD.

Could not find updates for BIOS, Chipset and SATA drivers… Any hint to how I can find this things for my hardware?

I have been using my computer active without turning it off in nearly 2 days now without any problems, so I hope some of the things I did helped! I will write a new replay in a couple of days if I get a new BSOD

Thank you for fast response and super good help!

Best regards!
