I'm currently facing blue screens on Windows 7 64-bits, that happen 45 minutes or so after system start-up.
The error code I get is 0xF4, which, according to MS bug check codes corresponds to the CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION error.
I've tried to analyze the minidump that Windows created, but can't really get what's causing the error. It's said to happen in
ntoskrnl.exe
which seems to be Windows Kernel process, most of the time at the address7efc0
.The only clue I have is that it might be associated with my system HDD, which is an Crucial M4 with 64 GB, because when my computer automatically reboot, it gets stuck on
Auto-detecting AHCI device 0
and nothing happens until I reboot manually by completely shutting down my computer.
So my question is, what causes the problem in my case, is it my SSD ?
I have the feeling that it might be this, but then I don't know how to be sure, and then if this is possible to repair that, or if buying a new disk is the only option.
If this helps, I paste the Minidump infos that I got with BlueScreenView :
