Right outside of Apple Store Santa Clara. I could tell it was a genuine Blue Screen of Death instantly from the code. But… this could make for a good marketing strategy.

Hmm. If there was a recent upgrade in memory, could be faulty? Hard drive possibly corrupt or there’s a driver error. Broad diagnosis, but those are where I’d start.

0×000000F4 means that a thread can’t be loaded into memory. So, HDD failure would be my first guess, but it could be NTFS corruption. Memory failure is rare, but a distant third.
