Hello,
I'm running a new computer that's just about a month old with Windows Xp Pro (Core 2 Quad 2.4, 2GB Mem, Evga 680i Mobo).
Starting 2 days ago I've been getting the stop error message 0x000000F4 every 5-15 minutes after i have booted into windows. I can open a program and it will work for a bit but then it stops responding and bsod's. I can still boot it into safe mode and i can run things in there without any problems.
The first thing i did was a system restore to see if it was something i had changed recently but i got the same error. Then i ran avg antivrius and a couple other spyware programs. They couldn't find anything. And then i checked the memory. I ran memtest86+ all night and it couldn't find any errors.
Then i tried to run chkdsk /r 3 or 4 times and it would always stop responding at around 30% on phase 4. So i thought i would try to repair windows with the cd, but it gets a different bsod when i try to run that. After the cd is about half loaded i will get the 0x0000007b stop error.
So then i tried to find my minidumps to post on the forum, but there are none. The folder isn't even there. I checked my setup & recovery settings to see that everything was configured correctly. They were. I crashed it a couple more times, but still no minidumps.
I'm lost please help and
Thanks in advance
