Solved BSOD usually within 10 minutes of power on. error 0x000000F4

Hey Guys,

I built this computer in late 2013 and everything has been working just great until a couple days ago. Now when I turn it on within 10 minutes of doing anything I get a BSOD and the message 0x000000F4. It's the same BSOD message every time. I've not installed any new hardware since it was built.

Specs
CPU:Intel Core i5 4670k - @3.40 Ghz
MB:MSI Z87-G45 Gaming (MS-7821)
Memory:Corsair Vengence DDR3 dual channel 8Gb
Graphics:Nvidia GeForce GTX760
Storage:Kingston SH103S3120G 120GB ssd drive (Both show good in Crystal Disk Info)
Storage:WD WD10EZEX-00RKKA0 1TB (Both show good in Crystal Disk Info)

In advance I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks

Jimmy

Not finding any 0xF4 BSOD in the zip, but that is storage related.
Make it sure that the SSD is running with the latest firmware, Rev 526ABBF0.

Earlier you had some issues with VPN. How did you fix those?

I will check on the firmware. The VPN issue was caused by Windows Defender it seems. Once it was disabled my Cisco VPN worked fine.

Thanks

Nobody uses windows defender with windows 7. It is just a spyware protector in 7 and it does not do that job very efficiently.
