So I go back in time to 2 years running an HP with Windows XP. Sometime ago, my HD crashed and I replaced it with a new one. Convinced by HP and BB, I also purchases a Windows 7 Home Premium CD (since I never had back up software).
So after a successful installation of the CD, the following errors occurred every day
On Wed 7/20/2011 9:20:52 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\072011-17425-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7FD00)
Bugcheck code: 0xF4 (0x3, 0xFFFFFA8004908B30, 0xFFFFFA8004908E10, 0xFFFFF80002BD9F40)
Error: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time
In talking to both HP and MS, both cannot fix the issue and recommend that I purchase a new PC or send that out for repair.
Any ideas ?
