Windows 8.1 - Screen Goes Dark Blue?

Oct 25, 2013

I recently changed to windows 8, there's a problem with my graphic card (I think). I play the lord of the rings online, and when I try to launch it, as soon as it goes into full screen, the whole screen gets dark bluish (not BSOD). When thah happens the screen stays that way even if I close lotro and the only way it goes back to normal is by rebooting.

Here's a screenshot with my system specs: [url].....

P.S. I have tried updating my video card driver, it says it's up to date... the version is WDDM v1.1

Windows 8 Screen Too Dark - Can't Make It Brighter

Dec 2, 2012

So let me start by saying that I have checked several things already. I have made sure that the brightness slider is all the way up, I have gone into advanced display settings and turned off any sort of auto dim feature and made sure that all brightness settings are turned all the way up.

I am on an old gateway Vista laptop (dual core cpu, 2GB ram) and I have Windows 8 release preview 32 bit installed on a separate partition on my HDD. When I installed it, everything went fine. Then after running 8 for about 10 minutes, all of a sudden a window popped up above my battery icon in the tray saying that I should replace my battery, and the screen went dim. It was as if I turned the brightness slider all the way down. Well all of the sliders and settings are still at 100% brightness, unplugged or on power.

When I boot back into Vista, everything works fine. There is no battery warning or brightness issues.

Apps / Software :: Open Laptop Lid - Screen Momentarily Goes Dark / Excel Cells Greyed Out

Jan 9, 2014

I have a Sony Vaio Pro 13 laptop, running Windows 8.1. If I have a couple of Excel spreadsheets open, close the laptop lid, leave it a minute or so, then re-open the lid, the screen momentarily goes dark, then comes to life again. All open apps are OK with the exception of the Excel sheets. In these, all the cells (& ribbon) are unviewable. The whole worksheet area on the screen is not the normal cells but a screen full of whatever colour I set for the default ribbon colour (some kind of beigy grey...). You can't click on any of the cells, can't see what's in them etc... you CAN close the sheet using the window close x at top right (even though you can't actually see the x) but that's all.

I have set up Windows so that NO ACTION is taken on closing the lid. It seems to be the same problem as described at hibernate - Excel windows invisible when laptop comes back from sleep - Super User but no working solution is available. (The one on this link refers to clicking 'restore' but that doesn't work) Running Excel 2013 (part of Office 2013).

I'm stuck as to what may be causing this... but I guess it should be an Excel problem since other apps (e.g. Word) don't exhibit this problem, but that may be a function of what's open at the time the lid is closed / re-opened?

After Choose Windows 8 It Goes To Blue Recovery Screen

Jan 16, 2013

Dual booting Win 7 and Win 8. Win 7 is C: Primary installed first, Win 8 is installed to a primary partition (25GB). I get the blue recovery screen after starting Win 8 from bootloader menu. Win 7 starts fine. I have installed Win 8 on another computer using the same flash so I know the flash is good. First I defraged and cleaned out C: then created the partition. I have installed it on the computer before (preview edition) then removed it(formated D: partition), this is the RTM 9200 build. Did I mention that on the other computer when installed it asked for Key which I temporarily skipped, on this computer however when installed it did not ask for the key. Before the install I ran bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot and also /rebuildbcd from Win 7 install disk.

I don't think it's a problem with the Win 7 boot loader. My guess is some registry value or other setting or file in Win 7 is preventing normal startup of Win 8. I do believe it's not hardware related. Any thoughts on what could cause this? Could it be the Win 8 bootloader now causing problems and if so how would I fix this issue? Do I need to fix bootloader in Win 8 and should I run the bootrec cmd's from the Win 8 flash this time? Not sure which has taking over now! I have searched in these forums and online for a couple of day's to no avail though references have been made that the Win 8 bootloader has now taken over, if so were does the now functioning bootloader reside - C: or D: (partition) and which one is it Win 7 or Win 8 loader?

Debugging :: Windows 8.1 Blue Screen - Multiple Errors

Jan 30, 2014

Since Yesterday I've gotten the Window's 8 Blue screen saying the Error "MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE REQUESTS" now i got this multiple times yesterday, even got the "BAD_POOL_HEADER" Searched around and found out this was probably a Driver Error and updated my Drivers. Only my Video Card needed an update and after Installing the latest driver and restarting my Computer everything seemed fixed. But today i got the same IRP Error again.

I have an Busted up USB port and thought that maybe the Driver was confused about it and made the error so i Deactivated the specific driver to that Port, But after getting the same IRP error and restarted the comp again i got the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error at startup

Now my I comp started normally and I'm waiting for the next Error so I don't know what do to. I found out that there's some error Logs (C:/windows/minidump) but I don't know a program that'll make them readable.

Debugging :: Samsung EVO 840 120GB SSD - Windows 8.1 Freezes And Blue Screen

Nov 14, 2013

I recently bought a Samsung EVO 840 120 gb SSD and did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on it. Also formatted my other HDD's. And after that I started to experience at random times the complete freeze of windows and sometimes blue screen of death with "clock watchdog timeout" message. They usually happens when I unpacking an archive, during file copy, downloading big files, installing mods in nexus mod manager for skyrim or sometimes just in very random events. I noticed that usually when this happens hdd activity led on my pc case blinks continuously. When this freeze or BSOD happens I need to manually reset my computer.

(Also most of the archives I download from the internet I get crc errors for most when I try to unpack them, so I have redownload it again :/)

My system:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX 8150 Eight core Black Edition
CPU Cooling: Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: GA-970A-D3 (Rev. 1.0)
Memory: hiper blue 8 GB DDR 3
Graphics Card: Gigabyte AMD HD 6970 2 GB
PSU: Gigabyte 650 W
Hard Drives:
-Samsung EVO 840 SSD 120 GB (OS)
-Samsung HDD 500 GB
-WD HDD 2 TB

Nothing is overclocked. Everything has the latest drivers. Bios is updated to the latest.

I did CPU stress test got no errors.
I did GPU stress test got no errors.
I did RAM test got no errors.

Dell :: Page Fault Error In Windows 8 / Restarting With Blue Screen

Dec 29, 2012

I'm experiencing a problem after installing Windows 8 on Dell Inspiron N7110.

When I leave my laptop on for a while, it restarts because of a blue screen with the error: 0x00000050; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

It only happens when the laptop isn't used but is still on. When I'm working on it this error doesn't occur.

I checked RAM and HDD with Dell Support Center PC Checkup (even RAM stress test) and it shows no errors. Besides the HDD is new, as my old one broke and Dell replaced it.

I updated all my drivers from Dell's Website, so they all supported by windows 8.

Acer Iconia W510 PC Tablet / Windows 8 - Blue Screen Appearing For No Reason?

Mar 6, 2014

I have an Acer Iconia W510 PC Tablet and I am talking about this error right here. [URL] ....

Okay, so this started appearing and I got a little worried. Each time it happens, I go through a restart and am just fine. So, I started to think about why it appeared. Then it happened more often. I'd say it pops up for no apparent reason every couple days, sometimes more frequent.

Every day, I do the following:

- Run Disk Cleanup
- Run Defrag
- Do a Manual Full System Scan with Norton Antivirus

I do all of these things and try to never download shady files, but it happens all the time. Sometimes it will be when I'm talking to someone on Skype (Text, not Video), or in an app like One Note or OK Cupid Touch.

It happens so frequently that I feel like there is something I'm missing.

I am able to log in to the main user of the computer, but when I do, it brings me to a black screen with a blue task bar. I am able to use ctrl alt del and get into task manager, which is opened in the screen shot. Nothing else works. I was also able to get into windows boot manager once by pressing f8 and selecting boot manager, but since running a repair, it no longer works. When I click boot manager, it just starts the computer up like normal.

When Turned On Lenovo Y410p - Got A Blue Screen?

Jan 25, 2014

When I turned on my Lenovo y410p today I got a blue screen saying:

Recovery

Your PC needs to be repaired

The Booth Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

File: BCD
Error code: 0x000000d

You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

The only option I have is: Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings

I have 64bit Windows 8. I have a Fat32 external hard drive I might be able to use to recover it - but what should I download? Also, can I try to do something in the UEFI settings to fix it?
