My computer recently started getting the BSOD! Help!

[cravinpineapple]

Hi! As the title says my computer recently started getting a BSOD and I'm starting to worry... I get about 1-2 a day for the past 2 days, previously my computer would only crash if I left it on overnight. Frankly I'm scared it's something wrong with the CPU or graphics card. I have a i7-4770k and a GTX 780. If it's my CPU then there might be some reason... I kind of have a janky set up with the heatsink, and I don't know how to get the fans on my case (NZXT Phantom) to work... If anyone knows a way to determine what is causing the problem, how to fix said problem once found out, please post here or pm! Thank you so much in advance!

 

tl;dr blue screening, how do I found out what's causing it/fix it?

It could be many things, but most likely a bad installed driver/software. Just boot up the proper windows instalation setup and go to repair my computer then choose the option to rollback or fix the startup. For rollback just go to the your latest installation/update.

I'm at my grandmothers visiting at the moment, I'll post it in the next 1-2 days though.

check that all psu cables are well pushed in, reinstall your drivers, run a memtest, check for overheating, remove the graphics card and see if it works better with the igpu.

The "Bug Check String" is CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION, and the "Bug Check Code" is 0x000000f4. Also, I think it's notable to mention that my windows is running very slow, like sometimes the taskbar doesn't respond and I can't move around programs, to fix this I have to to got to Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click taskbar. ANOTHER thing that is happening is my mouse suddenly is acting strange. I had to unbind middle click because every time I scrolled it clicked the middle button. It's hard to describe but yeah. One more thing is that whenever I left click on a tab it will close it, even if I right click, but this does not happen all the time.

I'd say in this order : (considering windows runs very slow)

 

 

- Clean it with some solid anti crapware (adw cleaner, malwarebytes etc...) / uncheck everything useless in startup programs

 

- Run a MEMTEST to check if your RAM fails at some point (can be a (common) BSOD source)

 

- Check the temperature / unplug any useless cards/cables and try again

 

 

 

And tell us if anything changed

Sounds like a virus (according to Microsoft's website). A crucial system process is being terminated, I guess. as @Maldorhan said, clean it something like MalwareBytes and check startup programs.
