Solved BSOD in random apps, without any event log enrty

[ThMoJe]

Hi

My computer has started to randomly BSOD, without writing anything into the eventlog at the BSOD time.

It starts by some app hanging, could be browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, happens with them all), or a small Windows pops up that f.eks. a taskbar app, like RoboForm, Listary, has crashed.
Then everything hangs, and NeXT BSOD :-(

Nothing obvious i Windows System eventlog, and nothing at the time of BSOD indication what goes on.

I have limited dmp analysis skills, so any help much appriciated.

minidump attached as per instruction.

Regards, Thomas

Okay so the Bugcheck we are reciving here is a: "F4"

BugCheck [B]F4[/B], {3, fffffa8015e84770, fffffa8015e84a50, fffff800035e2270}

Here is some troubleshooting information on the "F4" BC:

   Information

• Check and reseat all cards, memory and cables (on both ends when possible) actually remove and
  replace - do not just snug.

• Memory could be the problem, so i would like to ask you to perform a memory test: Followup:

  • Antivirus/anti-spyware/security programs have been known to cause or have a role in this issue.

Thx. I have actually installd extra RAM, and an SSD, all been running smoothly for almost two years, but will take the thing apart for a clean and re-assemble after a RAM check, and get back with the results.

Removed back cover, Battery, RAM, SSD and vacuum cleaned everything. Assured that everything was re-mounted firmly, and has now been running for 6 hours without BSOD
