Screen Error in Windows Working in IT, I've come across number strange STOP errors in Windows that are only fixed by doing something ridiculously obscure! Recently, I came across another STOP error that is very obscure, but pretty easy 0x00000f4 error to fix! Well, at least it was easy to fix for me. Here's the error
Stop 00000f4
on the associated blue screen when I am working on the troubled computer: Stop: 0x000000F4 (0x00000000003, 0xFFFFFADF50, 0xFFFFFADF50EC32A8, etc) To fix this, 000f4 blue screen I tried all kinds of things before calling Dell support, such as replacing the memory, switching out video cards, replacing the motherboard, running all kinds of hardware and memory diagnostic tools, etc, etc. Sadly, nothing worked! We 0x000000f4 error knew it was not a software issue because we have a bunch of identical machines, all with the same software configuration. Hence, we had to make a call to good ol Dell technical support. Note that recently we had installed a new hard drive into the computer and starting getting these blue screen errors a few days later. While talking with the Dell rep, he had me do all kinds of stuff! Firstly, I

had to un-plug the computer, and pull out the monitor, keyboard and mouse cords. After that, we removed all the memory, plugged everything back in and rebooted. Same blue screen! We then took out and replaced other parts of the computer, rebooting and unplugging the computer each time we took something out or put something back in. Finally, I took out the CMOS battery (the small round battery on your motherboard), rebooted, then re-installed it, and rebooted the machine again. It fixed the problem! So this STOP error is related to either a low CMOS battery or simply having to take it out and put it back in. Next time you add some new hardware to your computer, you have get this error because the components do not get configured properly during the install. Removing and reinstalling ensures that the device can reconfigure correctly with the new hardware. October 16th, 2008 by Aseem Kishore File in: How-To There are 14 comments, care to add yours?

3 days now. http://i.imgur.com/bNn4vnH.jpg I usually get it when playing a video game, but sometimes even when just randomly browsing the internet. I have tried running RegCurePro to fix http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-fix-stop0x000000f4-blue-screen-error-in-windows/ system problems and nothing. A friend told me to only use 1 memory ram at a time (I currently have 2) to see if that memory is the problem. Getting blue screen with both. What is causing the problem, and is there any way to fix it ? Thank you in advance.

Some windows processes will check for modification of their data and will shut down windows if it gets modified. there are lots of causes for this: I would run malwarebytes scan first then run cmd.exe as an admin and start the command sfc.exe /scannow and confirm your system files have not been modified. if these look good, then I would run a hardware test on the memory (run memtest86.exe on its own boot image) if memtest86 runs without errors, the next most likely cause (that is not malware) would be certain device drivers that have bugs that cause your windows system memory to become corrupted. These bugs are very common with outdated motherboard BIOS versions, and older USB drivers. it is always good to update your BIOS and any drivers for your motherboard before you spend too much time trying to f
