    Hello
    Ok the short version because the rig is probably gonna crash again if i keep going for too long.

    specs:
    i5 2500K @ 3.30 ghz -> Core voltage 1.000V-1.100V
    AsRock P67 Extreme4
    2x Kingston DDR3 4096mb -> DRam V 1.605V
    AMD Radeon HD 6950 2gig
    MICRON Crucial M4 64gig -> Windows 7 drive
    SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 1000 gig
    CORSAIR TX v2 650 watt

    CPU temp: 30°
    Motherboard temp: 27°
    GPU temp: 50°


    Never had any problems with this rig (about a year old) until last monday. About 20 blue screens, and counting.

    They give the stop code 0x00..F4 with a 0xc000000e error (most likely means a hardware defect).
    Tried a system restore to september 2012, still had crashes. AVG and Malwarebytes scans, no files deleted. Used CCleaner. Updated all the drivers (except the motherboard BIOS), still had crashes.

    Chkdsk/R in Safe mode came back with no errors/damage on the drives, 10h Memtest run didn't find any errors.

    Things i havent tried yet are a Windows restore, testing the RAM by removing 1 of them and the BIOS update for the motherboard.

    Does anyone know what else i can try before i RMA it?

    Thank you

    Reads like the Crucial M4 firmware needs updating, there is a bug on older firmware where after about the equivalent of 6 months of use, it crashes with a 0xF4 - about every hour.

    Looks like you figured it out, had no more blue screens today.

    Many thanks!

    No worries, you did all the work for me ;) it just needed someone that's seen those little details before to type up the reply!

    And a belated "Welcome to Majorgeeks" too :major
