Went to turn on my computer today and got a screen with the Dell Logo and a message "Boot manager has recovered from a critical error." It went on to say there were missing or corrupt files that were restored from the default configuration. I did a Google search and found absolutely nothing about this error. This laptop is only 2 months old. I couldn't find anything in the event viewer either.
View 1 RepliesAfter awaiting at the login screen for a 3-4 hours (doing nothing), my PC suddenly restarted. I checked the event logger and saw a critical error 0x133. I'm attaching all information as described in the forum, in the attached zip file.
I would also like to add, that after running sfc /scannow, the system scan detected corrupt files but was unable to fix all of them (as it is saying). It also reports that details are included in C:WindowsLogsCBSCBS.log. Should I upload this file also ?
I just bought a Lenovo Flex 14" and have been getting BSODs out of nowhere, usually after a while of surfing the net.
I thought the ram is flawed so I went back to the store for a new ram and the BSOD problem halted for a week but now it's coming back again.
I have attached the dump log using SR.
I'm getting random BSODs lately. The errors say
"Kernel IN Page error" and "Critical Process Died"
After reboots, some of my software gets reset (i.e. I need to relogin to chrome to get my preferences/plugins back)
My pc will crash at random times sometimes just when surfing the internet and others when waking it from sleep it will show a BSOD. Almost every time this happens I get a message that says "your pc has recovered the video drivers" I have tried updating drivers and re-installing them and I still get this. Sometimes the pc will go for 2 weeks with out an error other times it is every 1-2 days. I have Attached the Diagnostics information from the tool. I do not know if the issues are related of not.

I've been encountering BSOD Critical_process_died twice in 2 days. What is making me scratch my head is that this issue occur when there is a loud humming noise in my tower/cpu (what ever you call it). Tried searching the source of the noise but it doesn't seem to be the cpu fan or the gpu fan. Also this loud humming noise happens randomly and when it does, my computer starts to hang/lags before the BSOD takes place. Besides that, after a couple of restarts the loud humming noise seems to disappear and the computer works fine again.

New data dump uploaded .....
Recently, my computer started freezing up at startup. It BSODs with the error in the title before making it to the login screen. Up to this point, I have run chkdsk /r /x which took two days and reported no errors and have attempted to run SFC /scannow /offbootdir=c: /offwindir=e:windows which gave me the "windows resource protection could not start the repair service". I don't know how to get the scan to work and have already tried to manually start the trustedinstaller service.
The system is Windows 8.1 on a 2tb raid array (mirror)

Over the last few days I built a new PC with ASUS A87 Pro MB, no PCIe cards, and Samsung ssd 840 Pro boot drive. Lots of changes on a daily basis. For a while, the FAST STARTUP hybrid boot was working. Then it stopped, and I'm trying to debug it.
When PAST STARTUP is enabled in power options, I get a repeatable Critical Error - Windows did not shut down properly, and the startup time is as long as it would be without FAST STARTUP enabled. There are no BSODS, and no apparent harm from the Critical Shutdown error.

Memtest came back good. No errors. Also thought I should mention temps are just fine, nothing going above 50C.
(I was running 8.1 before the reinstall) So randomly about a week ago my computer started to bsod out of nowhere saying Critical Prcoess died. Then I started getting Kernal data inpage error. I, of course, googled the issue and there seems to be no solid fix for them. After some fiddlig I seemed to make the bsods stop (could have been luck) and then I was only getting hard locks. No bsod, but everything, including the cursor, was frozen. No ctrl alt del could fix it, it was stuck and required a hard reset. Some thought it was registry errors, others thought it was hardware.
I think I have ruled out software after a reinstall, and still having the issue.

I was working on my laptop on Tuesday and all of a sudden it blue screened with the following error:
system thread exception not handled athwbx.sys
I have tried to uninstall the graphics card as a lot of searches mentioned that this was a problem. I can boot the laptop to safe but cant do much else than that. I have also tried system restore but that fails as well.
suddenly today when i tried to boot my pc pc i faced the "0xC000021A" error. I have tried a lot of things such as safe mode, windows auto repair and "bootrec /fixmbr" & "bootrec /fixboot" commands but nothing worked..
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter creating a UEFI bootable USB thumb drive with Rufus (using Windows 8.1 Enterprise ISO x64), for a Dell Optiplex 3010 (configured as UEFI only, no CSM, latest firmware version, Windows 8 installed), I didn't see a USB boot option, so I tried to add one manually. Unfortunately I erased the existing boot option (boot manager) by mistake. Although there were two boot options for PXE booting, the machine will not start anymore, even when there is an active WDS server on the network.
I also see Led's 2 and 3 lighting up, meaning according to the manual 'hardware ok but bios possibly damaged/corrupt'.
I understand I cannot start the machine from a bios boot disk because of GPT partitioning, and the UEFI USB boot disk I made might be corrupt (as it didn't show up as a boot option), however I don't understand why it won't boot from the PXE network card, as these boot options are still there.
Computer: HP Pavilion DM4 3070-se (Beats Edition)
OS: Windows 8
It would not boot up, and when I started it the BIOS showed a '3F0 hard drive not exist' error. I left it until this morning, and tried again. Everything booted up and it reached the Windows 8 login screen -- I have automatic login enabled, but the screen freezes (spinner indicator stops suddenly) and the screen goes black. It restarts again, and sometimes I get the Windows 8 repair screen, sometimes I get the 3F0 error again.
The inconsistency makes me think that something is screwed up hardware-wise, but I'm not totally sure. Apparently, from reading online, the problem could be the HDD (I don't think this is the case) or a poor cable connection (most likely), or a software problem.
Because I don't have recovery media for Windows 8 (I installed it on a USB drive I don't have with me) I can't try a system refresh or restore, but I'd rather avoid those if at all possible.
Do you all think that a good option might be to take it to a hardware repair place and have them check the cables for errors?
I have an Aspire S3 laptop Windows 8 to 8.1 - that now has a BCD error blue screen upon start up that is error OXCOOOO0D - boot configuration data Recovery

I don't have an install/repair cd/dvd, and I don't have my product key - since its on the BIOS and is unretrievable. I want to save ALL my files ... All I tried so far is to get into the BOOT by pressing F2 and switched it from UEFI to Legacy only it asks for BOOT disk...
My Dell Inspiron 660 is 2 months old. It came with Windows 8 preinstalled. My problem: I am trying to change the boot order so I can boot from CD ROM as a first option. I have tried using the "F" keys on boot, but it just ignores me and goes on to boot up. I have also tried the "Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings" in "Change PC Settings" and got the same results. I spent some time on the phone with a Dell tech. After trying all the things I had already tried, he and his supervisor decided I must have a bad Motherboard. Does this sound right? Is there any way to repair this problem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI formatted a HD that had the bootmanager on it. The Win 8 disc can't repair it. I'm also getting a message that my C: drive is locked.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI had an issue with my Windows 8 where I was forced to reinstall it. I have completely wiped my SSD and reinstalled Windows 8 on it. However, now it will not let me pick my boot order. It is forcing me to use Windows Boot Manager as my Boot Option 1. If I use anything else, I just get a black screen with a blinking line cursor.
It didn't use to do this before I had to reinstall. I'm not sure how to fix this. It also will not let me choose F11 boot options, it always is forcing me to use Windows Boot Manager.
How do I make it so I can boot from whichever boot order I want, instead of using Boot Manager?

Recently Task Manager decides to crash on open.
After that these 2 entries are created in the Event Viewer:
Event ID: 1000, Source: Application Error

I suppose the second entry is sent by Error Reporting to MS? What is causing the crash?
I have installed windows 8.1 and Windows 7
And the boot manager was windows 8.1

How can I get Windows 8.1 to be the boot manager?
My problem is that when i try to boot to F11 Recovery Manager i get the "error 0xc0000225" message.
Here is how my partitions look -As you can see i have the Recovery partition there, it is actually 17.5GB in actual size. Here is a what the Recovery (D) folder looks like -In the "HP Recovery Manager" it also says on the left "Disabled: Recovery partition is removed" but on the right side it actually allows me to remove it, which doesn't make sense, this image will show you what i mean -
I actually do have the Recovery Media on a USB in which i created from this very drive, i can boot the PC from the USB which then gives me options to factory restore etc.
The whole point is that i want this to work without reverting back to the recovery USB, is there any way at all to repair this?
How to disable windows boot manager. Before my system is just go to windows if i boot my computer.
But now my system go to windows boot manager if i boot my computer. And its need me to choose the os or wait for 30 sec.
I use uefi Windows 8. I already disable it via easybcd
Via msconfig
And via windows startup options.
And thats all just make the boot manager go faster not remove it. It just change the 30 sec to 0/3sec.
How can I disable the windows 8 boot manager?
Then re-enable the classic windows boot manager?
I got Huawei E220 3G USB dongle. I couldn't use it to connect to the internet on Windows 8 Pro x64.
Its giving Error 711. Saying Remote Access Connection Manager couldn't start. I went to services and tried to manually start it. But Its giving Error 20 as below.
I have been trying to install a product called Thumbsplus which was giving me a ODBC Driver Manager Error - Database source name not found and no default driver specified error.
After trying a fews things I starting looking at the ODBC Data Source Manager in windows 8 and noticed that I could not access the System DNS tab. ( I would get a warning " you are logged on with a non-administrator privileges. ) even thought the account Is an administrator account. So I logged off and entered in as administrator and still the same message.
Something is wrong and I suspect it has little to do with the thumbsplus program as I should be able to enter into the system dns tab without receiving this error message.
PS: If I say OK after the dialog message the manager with open up and allow me to click the add button but since I dont know how to add the apropriate info there I did not go further, hence to say the error message probably did cause thumbsplus to not install correctly.

I have an error message at boot time that says [fail] twice then boots normally.
I have tracked it down in other posts to the bios which I change and it works for awhile but then mysteriously changes itself back.
Here is what I do.
F2 at Dell logo
move tab to "boot"
Reorder the boot order to the following:
Windows Boot Manager
UEFI Onboard LAN IPv4
UEFI Onboard LAN IPv6
then save and exit
machine reboots without error message
Runs/boots fine for awhile then message reappears.
Going back into BIOS shows Windows Boot Manager has moved to the bottom of the list again.
Repeating the fix is only temporary.
How can I set up the BIOS to stay where I put it?
I have a Dell running Win 8.1
