I have been getting this blue screen every time I either install big programs or virus scan my drives.

on the blue screen it states this at the bottom everytime
Stop : 0x000000F4 (0X00000003,0X8A242BC0,OX8A242D34,0X805D11F8)

I have seen other blue screen codes in here, but the numbers do not always match up to what my blue screen says.
Does anyone have any insight???

We need the minidump files to help.

My Computer > C Drive > Windows Folder > Minidump Folder > Minidump files.

It is these files we need, not the Minidump Folder. Attach the files to your next posting and someone should be able to read them.

An 0xF4 means that one of the many processes or threads crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated. As a result, the system can no longer function. Specific causes are many, and often best resolved by a careful history of the problem and the circumstances of the error message.

Are you saying that when you click on the C Drive under My Computer and then click on the Windows folder that you don't have a Minidump folder?

It is located between the Microsot.Net and msagent folders.
