Hello there,
Straight to the point: I was playing a game of league of legends when suddenly the Power in my apartment went out (it's a [bleep] apartment, and my mom was cooking & washmachine was on) so i went down in the basement to flip the switch back on and when i came back upstairs my Computer was restarting itself automatically. i sat there, and it asked if i want to start windows normally, i pushed enter, typed in my password and then i was on my desktop. Then suddenly my screen went "kind of" black, i could still see a little of my taskbar. Then it went back to normal, but then a Blue screen and my Pc restarted itself. i tried again, with same results. I tried starting up in safe mode, same results. I really have no idea whats going on. i suspect it's not really a software probleme as much as its a hardware problem, but i don't know what to look for since my knowledge about Computers is quite little.
I have a Acer Predator G3120 running windows 7
Anymore info need just ask, i'll be here all day.

First question I have is the system BSODing before windows starts or after?
In other words is the the system booting and it does this? Please try the below instructions and let me know if it stops the BSOD so you can get the information from it.


To begin, turn on or restart your PC.

Just before the Windows 7 splash screen shown above appears, or just before your PC automatically restarts, press the F8 key to enter Advanced Boot Options.

Important: You do not need to be able to access Windows 7 normally to disable the automatic restart on system failure option via the Advanced Boot Options menu.

[attachment=62126:Advance Boot Menu Win7.jpg]

You should now see the Advanced Boot Options screen shown above.

If your computer automatically restarted or you see a different screen, you may have missed the brief window of opportunity to press F8 in the previous step and Windows 7 is probably now continuing (or attempting) to boot normally.

If this is the case, just restart your computer and try pressing F8 again.

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, highlight Disable automatic restart on system failure and press Enter.

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


OK lets get more explanation.

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Thanks to Broni for the instructions and program

Reboot and go to where you try to go to Safe Mode. One of the options is Try Last Known Configuration That Worked.
Does it bootup correctly then?

Yes you would need the OEM version to be specific. It has to match your installed OS.
If you do not have a Windows 7 installation DVD, you can download a legal copy with SP1 integrated from here: Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River.
Make sure you get the same version you have, Home Premium, Pro or Ultimate and 32 or 64 bit. Note that Basic or Starter is not available.

I recommend using ImgBurn at 4X speed (or the slowest available) to create the DVD from the downloaded .iso file.

You can do this on any computer capable of burning a DVD.

For techies or folks who work on computers: Create Windows 7 Universal ISO With All Editions Selection On Install with ei.cfg Removal Utility.
This will fit on a 6GB flash drive or can be burned to a DVD.

Thanks to Ztrucker for the instructions.

OK the issue seems to be the Win 7 OS itself that is causing your problem so lets do a Repair Installation by following the steps HERE.
Please read and follow all instructions carefully.
