Blue Screen of Death 0xf4

So recently, I've been experimenting with Blue screens of Deaths again. I thought I was over it a year ago when I had problems with my video card driver and hard disk driver, but it seems that the BsoD's have returned to yet annoy me again.

This time I'm getting the stop error 0xf4, which I know indicates a problem with faulty drivers, or harddrives that may be corrupt. I'm not a real pc technician, neither do I know much about computers really, that's why I made a new thread to have some experienced help.

So, this error really only occurs when I want to play League of Legends or any other game. For some reason, when I watch streams nothing happens. It also doesn't happen really frequently, mainly when I try to launch League of Legends. Also, I don't know why it's not making a Minidump file. It does make dump files of any other crashes that I have but when I get this error, it doesn't happen for some reason.

So I can't tell / I'm not sure if any of my drivers are outdated or not.

Something I have noticed is that when I get the error, the light of my mouse stays on. I have a keyboard and a mouse that give colors, that's why. The moment I get the error, the lights of my keyboard go off, but the lights of my mouse stay on, but when I turn off the pc manually the light of the mouse is supposed to go off. Could it be that my mouse driver needs to be updated? I got the keyboard and mouse a few months ago, I'm still not sure if this is the cause.

Any help is highly appreciated, I really want to play League of Legends normally again.

Kind Regards,

Seikenn.

Edit : When the pc is on, the temperature of my hard drive is pretty high, around 52 degrees. I haven't cleaned up my pc in a really, really long time. Maybe I should clean the dust first and see if it works well then.

Edit #2 : I've cleaned the dust from my cooler and the temperature is now 29 degrees when I start up my pc.

Seikenn, have patience and hopefully someone will answer you, sadly this forum is now moribund. If you suspect hard drive errors have you tried running chkdsk?. To do that if you can open Computer > right click over the drive letter > Properties > Tools > Error Checking > Check for Errors > Restart.

Another thing you could try is open a cmd propmpt (at administrator level), and type sfc /scannow. That will at least show any integrity errors if any.

Good Luck :)
