Frequent BSODs, Usually 0x000000F4

Hello all,

I get two frequent BSODs. My roommate believes my drivers are not up to date. We tried to check online and update them but some of the updates led to dead ends. I also found some fishy .exe called Msi Drivers Download Utility that wants me to pay to update my drivers... I didn't. I ran SpeedFan and it found no problems.

A while ago I posted on Tom's Hardware but got no help. I can't locate that thread now. I attached pictures of the two BSODs as well as the SF Diagnostic Tool files in the zip file. Any help is appreciated. I would say that the crashes have happened for quite a while with a varying frequency of 1-2x/month to 1-2/week and rarely like recently 2+ times a day. The driver updates I did as well as moving some files to free up 34/111 GB on my primary HD seem to have helped as I haven't BSOD'd recently but help is appreciated nonetheless as I'm sure it will happen again. Thank you in advance.

Edit: the pictures are taking too long to upload so I removed them.
Edit2: the uploader is giving me issues. Instead here is a link to a dropbox of the pictures and zip

There is no crash dump in the uploaded zip.

View attachment 308990

So we cannot check anything more.

Anyway, outdated firmware to SSD can cause stop 0xF4 BSODs. Make it sure that the firmware is up-to-date there.

Let us know the results.

Still can't find minidump files but I double checked the settings and my computer is set to create one. I also updated the driver for the SSD. Hopefully it doesn't crash again but if it does hopefully it produces a dmp file and I will upload.

Here is where i got the driver update for anyone who stumbles upon this:
Download VP200_507KC4_win, for SVP200S3 | Kingston Technology
