Guest Harry Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Several times a day I get a BOSD with the error message 0X000000F4. Google has not produced an usable solution. There is no new HW or SW installed, the event viewer is clean. There is no virus or spyware, in fact no change has been made for several months. Any help would be much appreciated Harry

How long before it happens when the machine is first turned on? It could be due to heat. Failed fans in the power supply, cpu, video card, or case could be suspect. 3. Does it happen with 1 program open or only many? You could have bad RAM. 4. Does it happen when the hard drive is being accessed? I've had instances where bad sectors caused a crash.

Guest Gerry Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re: BOSD Harry Can you post an exact copy of the Stop Error Report? Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on system failure. -- Hope this helps.

Guest Harry Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: BOSD I've located the problem in the second hard disc. Thanks to everyone for your help. I am particularly thankful to "Uncle Grumpy" for correcting the spelling error in my heading.
