BSOD starting again but different BCCode

[dannyboy212]

I had the 7A BSOD error before but fixed it. Now I only get F4 errors and random I/O errors which forces me to shut down my computer. I can't think of anything that would cause it. All I did was download smart driver updater, installed it, and tried to download drivers but it didn't work. It said there was a problem downloading the drivers or something so I uninstalled it. Since then my computer keeps shutting off and getting F4 errors along with I/O errors. I tried reseating my RAM and it hasn't helped. Checked the HDD and nothing was wrong with it. I opened my computer maybe two weeks ago to clean out the dust but nothing happened until yesterday.

7A and F4 are the same issue, two different expressions. It is storage related. 7A BSODs explain more about the issue.

If 7A issue is fixed, F4 issue cannot be there.

The HDD is Seagate Momentus 750GB.

First, Test your HDD using Seatools for DOS: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html

Remember, your storage controller mode is AHCI.
​

Next, Reseat the sata and power.

• 

If possible, change the SATA cable. Also apply the cable to an unused SATA port on the motherboard.


Let us know the results.

Alright I did the seatools test and got a failure on the first short test. Proceeded to do long test and fixed the errors and did another short test. Got "PASSED after repair". Opened my laptop and couldn't find the SATA cable anywhere. There was only one place to put the power cable so I just left it there. My laptop hasn't had a BSOD yet but i'll be sure to update if it does. Anything else I should check?

Good job on the seatools test and repair.

Now plan to get an external HDD to back up your dear data. The HDD may/might not last good for long. Better to be safe than sorry.
