The information I can find from the BSOD includes the following

Technical infomration

I haven't installed anything new, I also even tried a complete system reset last summer but still ended up getting the

random failures shortly afterwards even without any additional hardware/software installations.

Is there anything I can do?

Followed the instructions and included the relevent zipped folders, SF diag tool had trouble finding some of the stuff

It seems like you're dealing with intermittent BSODs (Blue Screen of Death) on your Windows 7 laptop, specifically with a VAIO NW Series Notebook PC. The technical information you provided from the BSOD indicates a stop error with code 0x000000F4 and details about the crash dump. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these BSOD issues:

Steps to Troubleshoot BSOD Issues on Windows 7:​

1. Update Drivers:
   • Ensure all your device drivers are up to date, especially your graphics, chipset, and storage drivers.
   []Check for Hardware Issues:
   • Run hardware diagnostics to check for any failing hardware components, particularly the hard drive.
   []Check for System File Corruption:
   • Run the System File Checker tool (sfc /scannow) to check and repair system file corruption.
   []Check for Disk Errors:
   • Use the Check Disk utility to scan and fix disk errors on your system drive.
   []Review recently installed Software or Updates:
   • If the issue started after a specific software installation or Windows Update, consider uninstalling the update or software.
   []Perform a Clean Boot:
   • Temporarily disable all non-Microsoft services and startup programs to identify any conflicting software causing the issue.
   []Monitor System Temperature:
   • Check your system's temperature to ensure it's not overheating, which can lead to instability.
   []Review System Logs:
   • Check Windows Event Viewer logs for any recurring errors or warnings around the time of the crashes.
   []Check Memory (RAM):
   • Run Windows Memory Diagnostic tool or Memtest86 to check for any issues with your system's RAM.
2. Consider Upgrading to Windows 10:
   • Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, and upgrading to Windows 10 may provide a more stable and secure experience.
