Hi

I just built a new computer and I've been getting the BSOD since day 1. Usually only happens when I'm surfing the net (haven't been doing much else since it keeps crashing). Dump files are attached. Any ideas?

Welcome

Bug check F4 does not have usual causes but is mostly related to storage/hard disk

Remove the intel rapid storage stuff that you have and do the stuff below:

Make a hard drive test from the hard drive manufacturers website

Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

Ran all the tests. Both my SSD and HDD passed all of them. Updated the firmware of my SSD and problem seems to be solved. Thanks much for the help.

I didn't know you have an SSD but I'm happy I was able to help and thanks for reporting back.

Feel free to mark the thread as "solved" :)
