Well it's only been a day since I wrote this post, but a bit more research into this has shown that for me at least, it is somehow Serviio related.
#F4 blue screen windows 7 software
There are times when these problems can be caused by low-level software running on the Windows kernel. Manually downloaded latest ffmpeg ( ) and put in it C:\Program Files\Serviio\lib\ A blue screen of death is generally caused by a problem with your computer’s hardware or software that controls it. Hopeful fix:ĭownloaded and installed offline version of Java 圆4 (forum suggestion) - uninstall any previous versions of Java you have installed first. Time will tell, as the blue screen restarts are quite random (might go a day without it, or a week) and often when the server is idle and not having any major resources accessed.
Report Id: 6c28bf8e-f97c-11e1-8d1f-940c6d82d8eaĪ bit more googling on this, and hopefully I have a fix for the crashing. Looking at logs around the time of crashes showed something quite interesting and unexpected:įaulting application name: ffmpeg.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ee7d185įaulting module name: ffmpeg.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ee7d185įaulting application start time: 0x01cd8d892d613b00įaulting application path: C:\Program Files\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exeįaulting module path: C:\Program Files\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe Something I should have done ages ago was simply to open the windows Event Viewer. A quick google on it will show the number of people having frustrating unexplained issues with it. I'd previously looked at the blue screen minidumps using some analyzer which didn't seem to say more than the error was f4 caused by ntoskrnl.exe which didn't leave me with much to try and figure out what really was causing it. If you've come across this page and you use a DLNA program called Serviio, keep reading, otherwise your issue could be unrelated (although as described below, it was a combination of serviio, java and ffmpeg). I think I may have just gotten to the cause issue of it.
#F4 blue screen windows 7 install
I've looked at this issue in the passed and presumed it must either be hardware related or a bad install of Windows server 2008 R2 (This also applies to Win 7). I don't typically notice this though, as virtual machines running on top of the server are preset to auto boot once windows has restarted (thanks to VMWare workstation 8 shared VM feature). For several months now I've had this error, which causes my server to randomly blue screen and restart.
