BSOD :: PC Crash After Attempting To Downgrade To 8.1?
Sep 12, 2015
I am running a 15.6" Dell Inspiron Laptop that originally came with Windows 8.1. I upgraded to Windows 10 around the first or second week of August. I had no problems for about 3 or 3 and a half weeks, up until about this past Tuesday (9/8/15). That day, I got the infamous memory management error blue screen, after which it reset and all was well...or so I thought. Within six hours, it randomly shut down and restarted itself while I was working on a paper in Word. Later that same day, it rebooted itself AGAIN!!! While it only did that twice, it continually closed out of apps that I was in the middle of using without giving me the opportunity to save whatever I was doing.
I read a couple of places that said people were able to get rid of all of these problems by simply downgrading back to their previous versions of windows, so I tried to go back to 8.1. I began the process of the downgrade, and left it. When I returned a few minutes later, it was trying to reboot in 8.1, but I instead was getting a blue screen saying that windows had encountered a problem and needed to restart...but when it restarted all i would get is another blue screen telling me to either reset again or select an advanced recovery option.
I don't get a BSOd, but this seemed like the most closely related forum section to post in. Dota 2 keeps crashing whenever I try to play a game. In general, my computer is also HORRIBLY slow when doing rather basic things, such as playing a Youtube video. My computer was running just fine yesterday, but now it's lagging horribly. Attached is the results of the dm_log_collector. Also, my system specs are filled in, but note that I have 2 graphics cards, not just 1.
What I know/have attempted:
1. I ran 3 free Anti-virus programs and only 1 found a file to quarantine, however even after it did so I'm still experience lag/crashing.
2. NVIDIA Geforce Experience crashed while trying to install a new driver. After I re-opened it, it said I had the latest drivers.
3. I have both an Intel card and an NVIDIA card, but when I run dxdiag it reads my card as the Intel one. However, I heard that you can sometimes have Windows select a certain graphics card when running certain programs. I might have it set to do this, however, I'm not sure.
i'm getting a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE BSOD shortly after or by execution of the win10 version of handbrakeCLI (uses x264 encoder). In compability mode (win7) it seems to work.
I updated the drivers before the last bluescreen (from the Lenovo homepage) but that didn't do the trick.
Laptop was upgraded from Win8 to Win10 some while ago. Dumps point to dxgmms2.sys or ntoskrnl.exe. Don't think it's an application fault, is it?
This is a machine I built from scratch about six months ago. Upgraded to Windows 10 about two months ago. I keep getting very random crashes, sometimes once a week, some times more. Yesterday it happened twice.
It seems to only happen when the computer is unattended for a while. I'll have it on overnight and in the morning I have a black screen, sometimes with only the mouse cursor present.
As kind of a side issue, when turn it off then reboot, I have to hit F2 to get into the ASUS BIOS. Somehow the BIOS seems to change on it's own and drops the Patriot Blaze SSD from the boot path, so I have to hit F8, highlight Patriot Blaze, then it boots normally. In the past, I thought I fixed this boot issue by flashing the latest BIOS. It worked for a while and boots off the SSD, then after a week or two suddenly the SSD is dropped from the boot path.
There weren't any minidump files, so I am attaching the text of the Windows MEMORY file, which I got using Windows WinDbg (X64).
I have a gaming PC that I built about 18 months ago that runs like a tank except for this occasional lockup I get. It locks up entirely and then reboots shortly after. It's only been doing this for the past few weeks and I get no BSOD. Today I checked the event viewer and saw that it saved a memory. dmp file with more info but after trying everything I can not get windb to open the dmp file due to symbol errors. This board has a killer Ethernet adapter with garbage drivers that I think are my issue. The only issues I've had with this system over the past year have all been related to the killer Ethernet drivers. The system hang usually happens when I'm in a download client or leave something downloading for an extended time.
I don't have much knowledge about computer at all so I don't know what to do. Ever since I got my PC a year ago it have always been crashing randomly and very constantly with various different error code. (Since I lost the receipt I was unable to return it)
So after I learn about blue screen viewer I was able to get a list of recent crash. which I attach above. I try to google the error code but I dont really understand what I needed to do.
My issue doesn't really happen while playing games. It happened once while I was in a game. I simply spend more time not playing games, so imo it makes sense that this crash happens while I'm not playing games. I don't know.
The primary display goes solid green and the secondary screen goes black. The audio - if playing - repeats the last few miliseconds of whatever was playing just before the screen changed.
e: I guess I should mention that this doesn't happen very frequently. Usually once every few days. The quickest it's been to repeat itself was when it happened two days in a row, but after that it didn't happen again until a few days later.
I have been trying to play xcom 2 for the past week and every time during the first 10-30 minutes the game crashes along with the pc and I get a red screen with no text. I have to manually turn off my computer and my pc creates a dump file. This has happened every time except twice when I was able to play the game for over 2 hours straight. My pc was playing games fine, it's just xcom 2 right now. I uploaded my dump files, they are all from when my pc crashed from playing xcom 2 and the first three were red screen crashes the last one was a bsod. I am going to lost everything I have done and checked so far.
-I have turned off just about all of the extra graphical settings there are in the options menu, I even lowered the settings of the game even though my ps specs can handle the game on max settings. -I tried to validate game files through steam. -I tried to play in windowed mode and turned off antivirus -I ran memtest86 (the newest version) for several hours with zero errors and 7 passes. -I ran stress tests on my cpu and gpu, again no problems there, and if my power supply was able to support my gpu through furmark that means it should isn't faulty correct? -I ran driver verifier for several hours, no crash. -I am pretty sure all of my drivers are up to date, should I download driver booster or another software to check that?
Have you heard of these red screen crashes from other people and xcom 2 since it is a new game and it could just have problems? Also windows 10 might be to blame, but there's nothing I can do about that.
My computer started to crash every X random minutes,It started yesterday. I didn't install or uninstall anything.Using "Who crashed", it claims that something is wrong with my Intel Gigabit Ethernet card. I've update it to the latest available from Intel, but the problem persists.
Whenever I exit Star Wars: The Old Republic, my computer crashes, and I get a BSOD with the win32kbase.sys error. I've tried exiting directly from the game, from the start screen, and even force closing through the task manager. It crashes every time without fail. It doesn't crash at all while playing the game, even playing for 4 hours. Just when I exit the game.
I've switched my AV from Bitdefender to Norton, to see if that is the problem. I've uninstalled the Nvidia drivers (with the uninstall tool), then reinstalled the newest. It still crashes.I have to hold the power button to get it off the BSOD, then restart. None of my other games have caused this (that I've encountered).
I was in desktop watching video and uploading video to internet. and my computer just BSODS me with the error IRQL Not Less or Equal.

Ok . I am getting random system lockups, can happen anytime. Sometimes using when using chrome or just on desktop. Happens most often when windows is on login screen, or sometime right before windows loads. Playing any game I have will cause crash to desktop. Crash time varies from game loading screen to playing game for a few minutes.
So far I have reinstalled windows 3 times. I have replaced motherboard because it crashed during bios update, thus ruining mobo, tried different power supply also. After installing windows I have installed latest drivers that I could find, didnt seem to make any difference from the drivers that were loaded when windows was first installed. I did notice that after I installed pc matic I got constant BSOD, So I uninstalled it. fewer BSOD But still have lockups and game crashes.
I have ran memtest for 24 hours with no errors, also ran tests on ssd and hdd drives with no errors.

I recently did a clean install to get Windows 10, but I'm getting two issues atm. The major one is a freeze crash where the computer will freeze, and the have the audio go really slow, robotic or at other times it will stutter/repeat. Sometimes the screen will also go black. It started happening around once per a day after I installed Windows 10. The only way to get out of it is to restart the computer, but when I restart it, the computer doesn't get past the windows loading screen. But on the 2nd restart after manually pressing the power button, it finally goes back to normal and boots up properly. It's happened around 4-5 times already since I installed Windows 10 a week ago.
The second issue might be related but around once a day, my screen turns black and I get a notification that Nvidia driver (model #) has stopped responding and has recovered. It's really quick and lasts only 3-5 seconds, so its not that annoying. This is a issue that I've had for a while even back in Windows 7. I always update the drivers for the GTX 660 Ti using Geforce Experience from Nvidia, but it never solves the issue.
I did get 1-2 BSODs since installing Windows 10, but I'm not sure if they are related.In the dump file, there is information that says the BSOD error is a "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR (199)" with the driver reporting a invalid fence ID. I looked it up online and I tried a solution, but it didn't work. I'm a bit stuck on what to do next. I also forgot to mention that if I press the sleep key on my keyboard and later awake from it, windows tends to slowly crash and eventually BSOD. By slowly, I mean that the taskbar starts to disappear as well as the start menu, but I can still use my programs such as Chrome to a limited degree, which is quite weird.
I have recently completed a new home build with the following specs:
Processor: i7-6700k Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z170X Gaming GT Memory: Corsair Vengence LPX DDR4, 2666 GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury SSD: Intel 750 Series, 1.2 TB PSU: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 OS: Windows 10 Home
The build went fairly well and the computer seems rather stable (and very, very quiet). But the main problem I am having is that after the computer wakes up from sleep mode, it crashes a few seconds later and re-boots. The event log will be riddled with entries upon reboot, but one critical event in particular catches my attention:
Event ID: 41, Kernel-Power
There are also a number of Errors that show up; not sure if they are normal or not but I suspect errors should not typically occur. I've updated all of my device drives but that didn't really seem to solve the issue. I also tried changing the power settings and un-selecting "Fast Startup" as per a recommendation I read on a different forum but that had no effect. To prevent the system crash, I've simply been shutting down my computer after I am done using it which isn't a bad thing, but I'd like to have the option of using sleep mode.
Also, for what it's worth, I remember having a bitch of a time with sleep mode with RAID 0 on my old computer, so perhaps Windows does not yet adequately support "sleep mode" with PCI-E controllers.
Every time I try to join a wifi network, my computer crash within a few seconds. It says "system service exception" igdkmd64.sys in the bsod. So I just cant connect to the internet anymore.. im on my phone right now.
Windows 10 from win7 Intel core i7-3610qm Intel centrino wireless-n 2230
I recently screwed up my main HDD through EASEUS as the HDD cannot boot anymore (all files still work fine though)
So instead, I got a SSD and installed Windows 8. Throughout my use, I noticed that on boot, it often conflicts with the corrupted HDD which has Windows 10. Whenever I try to install windows 10, I get an error that my PC needs to be repaired. I assume this is from my corrupted Windows 10.
I checked the BIOS for boot order, but neither my SSD nor HDD is listed, and is instead listed as "Windows Boot Manager". So, how do I disable this corrupted HDD from attempting to boot up?
I attempted an install of Win10 when I first got the go-ahead several weeks ago, it went through the entire install (which took an eternity) and then decided it was incompatible as windows updater encountered errors, it reverted back to 7. Last week I tried again and the pre-install launcher came up with an obscure windows update error, which fixed after downloading and installing the auto-tool for windows updater, but then came up with yet another different error with winupdate.
I restarted, Rand the tool again, and although the window still showed a red X and the same second error , it allowed me to click "retry" which then just force launched the windows 10 migration. I figured might as well, didn't prompt me with any warnings about the potential error so anyways long story short after going ahead, it now freezes on the new logo immediately when it tries to boot the OS, after a couple turns of the progress wheel. Don't know where to go from here and it doesn't seem to be reading any peripherals. Have disconnected and reconnected power and had to force shut down nearly half a dozen times.
I have a Toshiba laptop running on a 64-bit operating system with 101 GB free space.I have tried numerous times to update my windows 7 to windows 10 with the same result of a 32% freeze up.I have tried completing all updates for my current windows 7 and turning off my antivirus program before attempting the upgrade but have had the same result no matter what I do.
I was installing windows 10 (8.1 before) on my Dell inspiron 15 7000 series (7537), and it progressed to restarting after the installing drivers step, but after the restart and going through the dell startup screen, everything went black. The HDD light is stuck on and not flickering like it normally does.
There is no cursor or anything on the screen, it's just black. I waited for an hour and nothing changed, so I thought maybe it was frozen, so I restarted the computer via hard reset, which took it to a "attempting to recover update" screen, but after a few seconds on that screen it went immediately back to the black screen.
Its been about 30 min since that hard restart and its still black, HDD light still on, and nothing seems to be happening.
I have a problem, I installed windows 10 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop after attempting a reset to wipe my files in hopes to make things a little faster, and now I'm unable to do anything other than enter the BIOS.
My pc is unable to start-up after attempting to reset it(fresh reset). It is in a restart loop and when I try to turn it on the Windows 10 logo appears but then a blue screen appears saying "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we will restart for you." This then lets the PC restart and this restart process happens again. I have tried pressing F8 while it boots up to try to get it into safe mode but had no luck.
The title says it all. When attempting to restart my Base filtering engine service I get an error 5 access denied.
A bit more information: it then says the following programs will be restarted:
Windows Defender Network Inspection Service Windows Defender Network Inspection System Driver Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) IPsec Policy Agent Windows Firewall IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules
While restoring the windows 8.1 upgraded from windows 8, the update wil deleted and windows 8 will restore. Does it is same in windows 10, after upgrading from wn 7, 8, or 8.1 while factory reset or restore does it goes back to previous version?
I don't know how to downgrade to windows 7. I have tried using my Windows 7 disc, but it won't let me use it to go back. It has been months since i upgraded to windows 10, so i can't just revert back to windows 7 the easy way. I am okay with deleting all of my stuff, I have my product key, and i just wan't to go back.
