Lately I have been getting BSOD with stop error F4 (0x000000f4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xfffffa800a3a5b30, 0xfffffa800a3a5e10, 0xfffff800035951e0)) randomly, but seems to happen most frequently if I've been listening to music for awhile. I also have a lot of errors from a service called sidebyside (conhost.exe) in event manager. I have done chkdsk which was fine, memtest which was fine, scanned disks for virus from linux which was negative. I also did sfc /verify which came up with nothing. Normally i would test disk, but I'm not aware of any seatools equivalent for ssd. Last time I had this bsod when I tried to reboot it displayed an error for no boot media, but I was able to mount the disks on my server, and chkdsk again without errors. When I plugged them back into my desktop it did the loading windows files screen for a few minutes then booted normally. I'm out of ideas. specs: Intel i5 750 evga p55 sli 4x2gb mushkin blackline 1600 evga gtx560ti mushkin Callisto deluxe 60gb Intel x25m 80gb mushkin 560w psu Windows 7 x64
Quick google shows either CMOS battery, RAM or HDD dying.. I cant seem to see anything concrete though :/ Have you changed SATA ports for the SSD since installing windows on it?
No. I have my primary os ssd on port 0 and the secondary on port 1. I have always had them in these ports. I still have no way of testing if the ssd is dying as there is a total lack of testing tools for this. My ram checked out. Not sure about the cmos battery, but I assume it is still ok as I have not lost settings.
So I found a utility that allowed me to run smart test on my ssd an view the smart data. They seemed to check out. I also fixed the conhost error problem by removing and reinstalling 2507938 after installing 977648 hotfix patches. No bsod yet since, heres to hoping I fixed it.
