    I just got this computer a week ago and already got this problem.

    This morning reinstalled Windows and the drivers as well but it seems like my computer BSOD whenever I leave it on overnight.

    it gives a 0x000000F4 error and the bottom line always says Initializing Dump... so I assume that the dumps aren't successful.

    Any help guys?

    Thanks in advance :confused:

    I've done the memtest 3 times and passed it all. I'll try Checkdisk next.

    Before the checkdisk, I had another BSOD. I was just browsing webs and all of a sudden Windows freezes but the Mouse blue wheel was still running and ctrl alt del didnt work, then the bluescreen popped up. The memory dump was stuck on Initializing Dump for like 15 minutes so I decided to shut it down. And because of the fact that the dump was not made, whocrashed did not record it...

    So right now I'm doing chkdsk...

    I don't have an SSD :D

    My GPU ran fine, 1920x1080 - 12FPS at 72*C

    My CPU is fine as well.

    I cannot collect any crash dump because the BSOD was STUCK on Initializing Crash Dump:

    Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

    Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.


    No valid crash dumps have been found on your computer

    is that what it says with who crashed. initializing crash dump is a normal message from the operating system. i get it all the time after blue screens and i just close it. if youve had a bsod then who crashed will give a dump report.

    Yeah, that was from Whocrashed itself. Anyway, right now I'm trying my laptop with my old HDD that I've just put in because I suspect it might be a faulty HDD. I'll just leave it on for another night and I'll let you guys know if there's anything. :D

    Ok, now I am pretty sure that it was my HARD DRIVE that caused this. I've put in my old HDD from my old laptop and formatted it and it ran for 10 hours without a single problem, whereas my new HDD still caused BSOD after I formatted it. Guess I will have to contact PCSpecialist.co.uk sometimes soon then.

    download HD Tune in my sig below and run a test on the hard drive and see if it comes back with any bad sectors or errors.
