BSOD on shutdown

[hajalie24]

Whenever I try to shut down my computer, I get a blue screen of death. IT has the error code 0x000000f4. I've updated my firmware on my ssd, tried removing all drivers with drivercleaner and the problem persists. Any insight here?

Win7? XP?
updated BIOS?
for shits and giggles, I'd install windows on the HDD and boot off that (unplug ssd), then try to shutdown. If its the same bsod, then you know its not the SSD's problem, lol.

Win 7 64 bit
I updated the bios, no change.
I thought I had windows on one of my hdd's already, but it wouldn't boot to it. I'd really like to avoid installing windows again anyway.

If it matters in safe mode I can turn off fine.

well, then it's not a hardware issue, but most likely a software or driver issue. try disabling all the startup stuff you don't need, as well as any services you don't really need. then try updating all drivers.

Sandforce SSD? If you're in AHCI mode, flip it off. If you're not in AHCI mode, try flipping it on.

On my HTPC, I had to disable AHCI to get shutdown and sleep/wake to work on a Sandforce SSD, even with the latest firmware. In AHCI mode, it would BSOD regularly. Without AHCI enabled, it works 95% of the time.

It isn't a sandforce SSD. This only happens when I turn off my computer. I tried force closing a bunch of programs in task manager, didn't really do anything.


Here's my dump file. When you look at the debugging tools this is what I get.

It looks like your bug report is cut off as after Arg 4 it usually references more including BUGCHECK_STR and file name, both of which can be extremely helpful.. ie -- when I was troubleshooting my system this was the info after the Arg4:
