[BSoD] STOP: 0xF4 (0x3, ...)
I am running Windows Vista Business x64 SP2. After rebooting, I got a BSoD. It went a little something like this:
STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800AAF1C10, 0xFFFFFA800AAF1E48, 0xFFFFF80001EE68D0)

I am posting this from my Gentoo install on the same machine.

Here is what I did before the deadly reboot:


  • I used Microsoft AppLocale to load Vanguard Princess
  • I installed Hold 'Em and Tinker (2 games released as Ultimate Extras). I found 'patched' versions of these.
  • I am working on an NSIS installer that copied files to C:\Windows\Help\Windows, and might have accidentally ran the command "RMDir $WINDIR\Help\Windows" (from the uninstaller). From Gentoo, I can browse to this folder, inside is a folder called en-US, in that folder, there are files (so, I don't think I actually deleted anything).


I don't have any System Restore points, for some reason I disabled that.
I tried using the Vista Recovery Disc. It tried to auto-repair, and failed. It said "System Files Integrity Check and Repair. Failed. Error Code 0x2.

What do I do?

0x000000F4: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION

One of the many processes or threads crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated. As a result, the system can no longer function. Specific causes are many, and often best resolved by a careful history of the problem and the circumstances of the error message. One user, who experienced this on return from Standby mode on Win XP SP2, found the cause was that Windows was installed on a slave drive; compare http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;330100
