Hello guys, for the past 3 months or so I've been having an occasional issue with my 2-year Vaio laptop sometimes getting a BSOD on wakeup (since I usually put it to sleep instead of shutting down); I didn't make too much fuss about it back then, since it only affected the startup sequence and I didn't have the time to troubleshoot it anyway.
In the last two or three weeks however, the issue seems to have gotten a lot worse. I'm getting a random BSOD about once-twice a day now; I didn't update or install anything, it just started to occur on its own. Now I'm mostly worried whether it might be a hardware fault of some sort, since it's been just half a year since my HDD got busted and I had to get it replaced.
Sometimes when I move the laptop or slightly bend it by accident (really flimsy casing on the Vaio) the HDD makes a short "clack" sound and the system freezes for about a second, could that signify anything, like a faulty HDD cable maybe?
The error code I'm getting the most is 0xf4: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
I'm attaching all the minidumps I have; I have about 10 full memory dumps from May saved too, so if there's a way to compress them somehow I could post them here too. Last two days I've gotten BSODs too, but I didn't get a minidump.
