BSOD 0x000000f4 Help. Minidump File Inside.

Let MemTest86+ run over night.

Also I suggest that you run: http://www.seagate.com/support/inte...-electronics/ld25-series/seatools-dos-master/

You will need to create a CD with the .iso image on it.

So just download the latest version of what you had on before.

My CD/DVD drive isn't opening....and device manager isn't finding it

 

[TrainableMan]

MacigISO creates simulated CD/DVD-drives from ISOs, it shouldn't have anything to do with an actual drive. It sounds like your driver has been uninstalled.

Is there anything in device manager with a yellow warning icon indicating the driver is missing? By any chance did you delete Atapi ?

Only a USB device. I've been googling how to fix this, and nothing is working

And scanning doesn't help after that. Can't find how to install it anywhere, it won't even show up in the bios/boot priority screen.

Well have you been inside your computer at all? Maybe power or the cable are disconnected. Of course drives do go bad so hardware failure is always a possibility too.

 

[Shintaro]

Please restart in Safe Mode, then restart to normal mode.

I didn't think it would be possible for it to become unplugged, but I opened it up and it was just so very slightly not plugged in all the way. It works now

Now I just need to find out why its crashing.....gonna try Memtest. Also, I put another 4gb of RAM into it to see if it'll help.

Thanks again guys, I'll keep ya posted

 

[GiefCat]

So MemTest and the HD test both passed 100%.

I believe I've narrowed down my problem. I tried playing WoW by switching it from fullscreen windowed mode, and it crashed instantly. I tried starting it in windowed mode, and it crashed after a few minutes.

It seems that when the graphics card or something causing a lot of stress on graphics runs, I get the bsod.

It might be my graphics card......any tests I can do?

So I decided to do a complete fresh and clean install of windows 7. Installed all the drivers for my motherboard and graphics card, so literally nothing else is on this computer. Downloaded my game, played a bit, and then BSOD.....

Says its the partmgr.sys now

Could it be my HDD even though the test passed?

 

[TrainableMan]

Well since Shintaro said your errors above related to the Hard drive and since partmgr.sys is related to the hard drive I would say, yes it is a good possibility.

 

[Shintaro]

If you have reinstalled, the I would suggest that you re-install again, but first remove the partitions and re-create them before installing Windows.

Your missing Service Pack 1.
