    I've tried lots of programs (like memtest) to help find the problem but all those programs don't give me any errors.

    I keep getting the following errors at the blue screen :

    *** STOP : 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8008B5CB30, 0xFFFFFA8008B5CE10, 0xFFFFF8002FCEF40).

    *** STOP : 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8008B5CB30, 0xFFFFFA8008B5CE10, 0xFFFFF8002FCEF40).
    *** Ntfs.sys - Address FFFF8800172C648 base at FFFFF8800163D000, Datestamp 4d79997b.

    *** STOP : 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA8009B3BB30, 0xFFFFFA8009E3BE10, 0xFFFFF80031DEF40).

    Any idea what keeps causing this? I get a blue screen every single day.

    - Windows 7 Home Premium 64.
    - 8gb memory.
    - AMD Radeon HD 6900m.
    - i7 2720QM.

    Its always sitting on a hard surface, normal temp, mostly around 20-25° C.

    It usully happens when i'm doing a few things at once :

    - browsing the web
    - played a windowed mmorpg
    - vlc
    - chatting on msn

    Ntfs would mean the hard disk might be dying. Run a chkdsk if you haven't

    Hi, I googled your first error line and got this:

    How To Fix 0x000000F4 Error?

    It says this error comes up when a windows system file becomes corrupt. I'm not sure how reliable the article is though, and I wouldn't download anything from the link. But maybe you could run a system repair from boot up and see if that helps. I think you may need the win 7 installation disc to do this.

    Yeah I'd have to agree. A format is a good next step.

    ok, there can be a few things causing that error. start off by runing the memory diagnostic tool.
    Open Memory Diagnostics Tool by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then clicking Memory Diagnostics Tool. Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Choose between the two options for when to run the Memory Diagnostics Tool:

    You can restart your computer and run the tool immediately.

    You can restart your computer and run the tool later.

    lets see what that says

    ok, lets gather some info.
    1 how long has it been doing this?
    2 did you change anything on the computer jsut before it started?
    3 did you add any software or update any drivers just before this happened?
    4 have you checked all the drivers to make sure there is no generic drivers installed?

    1. Since the start. Been emailing back and forth with the shop i bought it from, we thought it was the SSD at first, got it replaced but still getting the BSOD's.
    2. Software or Hardware wise? I did install new programs like MSN, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, ... No new hardware except the new SSD.
    3. Same as 2.
    4. No idea what generic drivers means sorry, how can i check this?

    Appreciate all your help tho :)

    ok MSDN shows The CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION bug check has a value of 0x000000F4. This indicates that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.
    you can check your drivers in device manager, you will know if its a generic driver.
    My first suggestion is to test the memory one module at a time and try to recreate the error.

    I see a few Generic drivers in Device manager such as Generic USB hub, Generic Volume, Generic Volume shadow copy.
