When I try to go PC settings then PC and devices and then PC info it crashes.
Here are my specs.
OS:Windows 8.1
CPU: Intel Core i7-4500U 1.8GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHz GPU:Intel HD 4400
RAM/Memory: 8 GB DDR3 L Memory.
I have check for updates set to Never. Occasionally I manually check for updates. Thing is, after 10 minutes I get the same 40 important and 2 optional update descriptions. Is there some way to set the high water mark so that I only get new notices without installing any updates? It's not exactly intuitive.
View 8 Replies View RelatedToday when I played my favorite game ( entropia universe), I got a message from my game saying that I have low ram, I checked on the Ctrl alt del thing and I was shocked that only 3.8 gb ram was usable when i have 8 gb ram and using 64 bit system. So here comes to my first question... Why would this happen?
So I happened to follow a tutorial and turned on the maximum ram checkbox in the advanced settings in boot tab in msconfig. However when I first reboot I got the session 3 initialisation failed BSOD. The second time and third time and so on and so forth I got bad system config info, which turned my computer into a reboot loop. Second question, why would this happen?
My experience similar to this unlucky fellow : Win 8 BSOD : BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO (Details available)SOS
so I followed the guide in the thread and tried to recreate my BCD. I successfully got into the advanced setup options ( I think it is called this ?) by pressing shift +f8.
However I still failed as I was locked there. Every option including opening the command prompt is blocked because it said that operating these options needed administrative rights which I have in my hands. However the ASO said that it can't find any administrative accounts in my computer. Third question , why would this happen?
So now my computer fell into another loop. Whenever I started my computer it went into the ASO and wouldn't get away from it. And can't even see the lovely face in BSOD.
I am am using windows 8.1 in amd fx 8150 and 8 gb ram, computer was somehow normal with occasional freezing ( 1-2 times a month ).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a little bit of difficulty here syncing my Microsoft account's settings between these two devices. I had spent a great deal of time organizing the start screen layout of my Surface Pro 3 the day I received it. My desktop computer, however, has a jumbled mess of a start screen. Going through my sync settings today, I noticed there was an option to sync the layout of the start screen of my specific account. I thought, "Great! All that time I spent organizing my Surface can be transferred to this mess of a machine!"
Instead of syncing my nicely planned out and organized Surface Start Screen to the desktop computer, the horrid and wretched Desktop computer start screen synced itself to my beautiful Surface.
Before I make the same mistake twice, is there a way to choose which start screen syncs to which device? Also, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have to reorganize a start screen. I only plan on doing it once and then syncing it to the other device, so would it be safer to do it via the desktop computer?
Alright so I have a PC with a licensed Windows 8.1 Pro, been logging in with Microsoft account for about 3-4 months now and I absolutely love it. I purchased a laptop 5 days ago, and decided to format the whole thing and do a fresh install (the way I like it ).
Of course I signed it with Microsoft account and everything was just lovely. My Metro apps came back, my theme synced etc.
The only problem I have is that my desktop background refuses to sync. I remember having "Synced theme" on my new laptop under My themes (Desktop right click -> Personalize) but I deleted that and now how to get it back
TL;DR Signed in with MS account on my PC and laptop and desktop background doesn't sync. I deleted "Synced theme" and how to restore it.
I cannot get any info at the Apps screen. I can move all around the screen, I can search for anything but apps. I went to uninstall and all the programs are there. I in my eagerness to clean up things stopped some program which controls the apps screen. I can call up the task Manager , then wait a minute and all my icons start to populate. I then close the task Manager and I can run any program I want. Some I don't have a desktop icon I just go the program files and select the one I want. Also my grandson uses this PC. He goes in as a different user and its all there, he can get all his apps to display on the screen. How can I get the apps screen back and populated with my programs?

I've make a small exe with win rar and vbs (found online)+batch (oneclick and self install) ...
my computer had been booting up slowly lately so I decided to try to run diagnostic start up to see if that would fix it. When I did and restarted I click my profile and put it my pin. It just makes me select my profile again and put in my pin in a never ending loop.

It's a patch for Win 8.0 that allows you, with a Registry change, to have your BSODs actually be useful, like in previous versions.
That this isn't for 8.1 is interesting: does it already have this capability? I know "DisplayParameters" doesn't exist in 8.1, at least, but it may not be needed in 8.1 if the default there is on.
Had enough BSODs in 8.1 to know?
My OS corrupted so I had to re-install Windows completely, this wiped my Recovery Partition too (which seems impossible to get back)
Now, I want the custom windows 8 start-up and the PC info, I know this is done during assembly but is there a way of getting them back?
It feels less like an alienware and I know how weird that sounds.
On windows 7 if I right-click on the computer icon, it gives me all kinds of information. It tells me the type of processor, amount of memory, amount of RAM, etc. That does not happen on windows 8. What can I do to get that information on 8?

First of all Re-install is NO option WHATSOEVER. Because i have 500 + games installed. I have a masterbackup of it but i have 200+ new games I want to fix this installation before I do a new masterbackup.
The problem is I can't install nvidia drivers I got failed to install simple error. I think this is related to the processor /raminfo not showing in management computer and DXDIAG.
So I read around abit and it was said problem might be related to WMI? So I did all things suggested but I still get the error code 127 when trying to start WMI.
Having problem using this software in 8.1 but it runs on my 7 machines very well the problem is it does not show the status of the 5v rail (in pic) I have uninstalled it and reinstalled but to no avail.

Recently I noticed when I go to use the search in Windows 8 it crashes after a few letters are typed and goes back to the start screen.
View 9 Replies View Relatedmy PC, where after a period of normal usage it slows down, losing responsiveness, starts to freeze and eventually crashes. While this happens, I can still see stuff on the screen, I can move my mouse around but nothing really responds to my input. After a minute or two, the PC just crashes (I've only got 1 BSOD so far, see attached).
I've run memtest86+, no errors. SSD toolbox says the drive is healthy. I've also reinstalled Windows 8 on my boot SSD, but the problem persists.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI bought a new Lenovo Y510p laptop a few months back, and just last week I decided to transition from my old computer to this laptop. The OS was Windows 8 for the laptop, later upgraded to 8.1, and everything was fine until about three days later when suddenly I realized that whenever I went on Youtube or any website with flash-based content(using Chrome btw) AND games such as WoW they crashed.
I assumed it was a problem with the new 8.1 or something with updating the graphics drivers, so I decided to completely factory reset back to 8. Re-installed Chrome and my games, and it worked fine again for a day, then started to crash again. At that point I downgraded my windows 8 to windows 7. Re-installed everything again, but it still crashed. Can't play youtube, flash content, or any games(not even the pre-installed windows games like minesweeper, solitare, etc.).
On a variety of sites -- YouTube, eBay, FoxNews.com, etc -- IE10 (the desktop, non-Metro version) crashes twice and then gives up, returning this error message:
"When a website causes a failure or crash, Internet Explorer attempts to restore the site. It stops after two tries to avoid an endless loop."
If you google that error, you get some MS suggestions on how to fix it in IE9. The auto fix doesn't run under Windows 8, and clearly doesn't apply anyway, and the manual suggestion to reset IE didn't work.
Recently, my taskbar started doing a strange crashing/restarting thing. It disappears for a second, leaving behind the drop shadow, then restarts and works fine. Looks like this:
See the shadow line there?
I was able to duplicate it when I realized it would happen each time I opened an old program, but also happens at seemingly random times. Sometimes it takes just a second to reboot, other times it stays this way for a minute before returning.
We have a computer we're running Windows 8.1 Pro, which keeps crashing - typically overnight, and typically when we're running large computational simulations.
I have been working on parsing the WinDBG outputs, and finally got to:
Probably caused by : GenuineIntel
But before that, I see:
BugCheck 124, {0, ffffe0011caf8028, be000000, 100110a}
***** Kernel symbols are WRONG. Please fix symbols to do analysis.
But I am not 100% sure what I'm looking at. In WinDBG I am pretty sure I've succesfully pointed the symbol path to download symbols correctly from msdn.
So we ran "dm log collector", the ZIP is attached.
p.s. We do have a large RAID drive attached via USB3; connecting that seemed to correlate to the start of these crashes, but that might be wishful correlation seeking.
My new build with windows 8.1 installs fine but keeps crashing not even long enough to create account.
The specs for my pc are:
AMD A8-6600k 3.90GHz
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8gb (2 x 4gb)
Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3 AMD 88X
Kingston 120gb SSD
Superflower 300w Power Supply
When i first installed windows it worked for an hour or two then crashed, but now keeps crashing after minutes, and get the error code 0xc0000001 on startup.
Heres what i have tried so far:
Reinstalled windows 8.1 on same ssd and also tried it installed on a different HDD
Made sure cpu was correctly seated and checked everything is correctly connected.
Swapped RAM for another set which i know works from another computer
Flashed Bios to latest version
Run a cpu stress tests using UBCD which gave no errors
even tried installing windows 7 which still does the same
The pc never crashes in bios or when using UBCD.
I just bought a thinkpad yoga with windows 8.1 and chrome keeps crashing every time I open it. After it crashes once it does not crash again, but it is getting annoying.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have searched for answers, updated drivers the best I can and disabled certain things (such as setting the SSD to never sleep) yet I still have intermittent problems when waking my new build from sleep overnight.
I find it simply wakes and the network connection icon says disconnected and the whole thing is froze before it just powers down, loosing all the things I left open.
Here is a zip from win 8 file collector logs: download
(i7 pc, based on an Asus P8Z77-V LX with Intel SSD..)
Here is the log entry for restart just before extracting the logs:
"Event[2719]: Log Name: System

Not sure where to go from there as it froze without error??
The folder had over 900 hundred files so I placed them in separate files after reading that too many files causes explorer to crash, however when I change 2 of the 7 folders to details explorer automatically crashes, for one it closes as soon as I change it to details and for the other, it closes when I scroll down, they're mostly photos and videos, also I should mention that before I put them in separate folders, it kept crashing when I tried to open it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast time it was a sound enhancer called SRS Audio Sandbox. That was one of at least 4 unrecoverable crashes I've had in the last 2 weeks. Usually when trying to, or after installing incompatible(which I didn't know until the crash) software. I've installed DFX Audio Enhancer successfully for a while until it starts to cripple my games' performance. Then I have to uninstall it. But at least this one doesn't cause an unrecoverable crash.
Why don't the Windows 8.1 recovery options work? I click on one of them and nothing happens, so I have to reinstall Windows 8.1 all over again.
My web browsers including firefox, chrome and IE crash instantly and so do apps-MS office and Skype. (Works fine in Safe Mode with networking). I do have Quick heal AV on my system. Ran a full scan, it came out clear. Could it be an issue with Flash or shockwave?
Windows diagnostic tools couldn't find anything. Tried doing a system restore. The problem remains.
Windows update installed a 'Critical update' 2 days back. Should I restore the system to that stage?
Couldn't do a system Repair coz I do not have the product key.. Windows 8 came installed with the machine and have loads of licensed softwares and apps installed. I really do not want to do a system refresh/reset.
Every five minutes I recieve the BSOD and it says critical_process_died. The weird thing is, I reset my computer back to factory settings and as soon as I booted it did it again... I got my computer to work for like 10 minutes and as soon as I thought it stopped for good, it did it again.
My PC sometimes crashes during bootup too.
Edit: I was just downloading something and halfway in it said something like "Failed to download and install files". Then the taskbar in the bottom of my screen disapeared and my computer got the BSOD saying "Critical_Process_Died"...
Everytime i use the internet or watch videos on youtube in some minutes my pc crashes cause of tcpip.sys.
