BSOD with bbc code f4, freezing and reboots

[muttfacejohnson]

My setup
OS: Windows 7 Profesional
Cpu: i5-3570K OC to 4.4Ghz
Motherboard: Asrock Extreme4
Boot drive: 120GB Intel 330 ssd
Storage drive: 500GB Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid-Drive
Psu: Antec High Current Gamer 750W
Ram: 16GB G. Skill Ripjaw

My computer would randomly BSOD and freeze up on me. I unistalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers which solved one BSOD error. After that I began to get this on about 3 times a day. I since then reinstalled windows after a format and reinstalled all my drivers. During the install I suffered the BSOD posted here. I am out of options and am really thinking that the problem is harware related. I just don't know how to find out what the source is.

Can you upload this minidump:
C:\Windows\Minidump\082012-6614-01.dmp

 

[muttfacejohnson]

I can't post the minidump because I don't have access to the file at the moment

 

[Tmagic650]

Okay, when you have access to the file, post it

 

[muttfacejohnson]

I was able to view and exctract the file info using BlueScreenView here it is!

 

[Tmagic650]

Were all these files hi-lighted in pink inside Bluescreenview? Only the hi-lighted files should be noted? There are so many, I can't help believe that they were all hi-lighted. It is important to know what the hi-lighted ones were

 

[muttfacejohnson]

Ill look again and let you know

 

[muttfacejohnson]

The first is the error over view the next two in the txt are the two items that were highlighted in bluescreenview

 

[muttfacejohnson]

Seems to be this one that is frequent in each dump file as being highlighted only one other has been highlighted along with it that was the last entry in the txt file from the last post

 

[Tmagic650]

Okay, this is looking like a hard drive issue. Run CHKDSK (check disk) by going to control panel, and right-click on the C drive. Select properties, tools, check now. Put a check in both boxes to set a disk check on the next start up

 

[muttfacejohnson]

WIll do will let you know the results. I have a 120GB Intel 330 solid state drive that I boot off of just so you know.

 

[muttfacejohnson]

I ran check disk but I was given no info after if there were ant errors and none came up during the check

 

[Tmagic650]

Because it is a Normal/SSD combo drive, there may be a firmware update for it here:
http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/215451en
Is the drive connected to a SATA 3 port and configured ACHI or RAID in the bios. How long has this instability been happening?

 

[muttfacejohnson]

I have it connected to a SATA3 port and in ACHI its been happening since the beggining of this month so within the first few weeks of building the computer.

 

[Tmagic650]

Is there a firmware update for the drive?

 

[muttfacejohnson]

I checked both the solid state drive from intel and the Seagate momentus xt for firmware updates both turned up with nothing

 

[Tmagic650]

What is the Seagate model number? Should start with ST9...

 

[muttfacejohnson]

ST95005620AS

CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
Ntoskrnl.exe

Did we forget about a firmware reverse or update for the hard drive? Can you contact Seagate Support? Did you register this drive with Seagate for warranty?

 

[muttfacejohnson]

Ill be contacting them soon, college is really difficult at the moment calculus computer science and what not is really not being friendly at the moment so I have not had much time.

 

[Tmagic650]

Okay good luck with school and keep us posted

 

[muttfacejohnson]
