Greetings! On occasion, my computer will crash right after the screen which shows the OS is loading. No BSOD, just quietly shuts down. It doesn't happen very often. It's actually only happened twice in five days, but it's enough for me to wonder what the frag is going on! I have a dual boot machine. My other OS is Ubuntu 12.10. Could this be the reason for the crashes? It's the only reason I can think of.

I have run the diagnostic tool from the BSOD instructions page. It said no dump file was found, but it still generated a folder with files in it, so I am including it in this post. If there is more I need to do, let me know, please.

Happened a third time. So I guess no one has any answers?


EDIT: The latest files from the diagnostic tool is attatched.

Check the 'Overwrite any existing file' box.

You must have the Page file set up to at least to your RAM size, or let Windows configure.
To set the Page file size:
Open 'Control Panel'
Click 'Advanced system settings' in the upper left corner
Under 'Performance' click 'Settings'
In 'Advanced' tab, under 'Virtual memory' click 'Change;

Okay. Did everything you told me to do. '

The minimum temp is 43 degrees. The max is 59.

Uninstalled the Apple software. Listed my specs.

Hold on and I'll run the diagnostic tool again.

Did you change the settings for the mini dump and the page file?
Still no crash dump file in you zip folder.

If Automatic Repair couldn't repair your computer, it may be boot issue or file problem.
Run the System File Checker:
How to Run the "SFC /SCANNOW" Command at Boot or in Windows 8
Run it 3 times with re-boots.

Probably a Sony Wireless program/service or driver, could have something to do with your Wireless switch.
Check for updates from your Sony support site.

I did the sfc /scannow twice and the second time said the following: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". The scan ran to 100%. Since I got that kind of result I didn't do it a third time.

Funny thing is, is that I was having driver issues regarding my wireless when I had Windows 7, and I did a driver update. But it appears I may have got the wrong drivers. So I'm gonna be looking into that in a bit.

Also, I may have either solved some of the problem or created a workaround. I turned off Fast Startup/hybrid boot and the crashing at startup seems to have ceased. I did some reading here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html and I saw that some people have had issues with Fast Startup. Also, I did some reading and it seems some people have issues with dual boot systems and Fast Startup. What do you think? Hopefully this will fix things.

EDIT: Okay. So I went to install the old drivers, and it turns out there is a compatibility issue going on here. I uninstalled the driver for my wireless. Now I need to find drivers that ARE compatible, or wait until they issue drivers that are compatible with Windows 8.

One final thing: I did configure the crash dump settings as you told me to do. I have no idea why the dump files aren't saving.

Get your system to produce minidumps urgently.

Forcing a System Crash from the Keyboard (Windows Debuggers) specifies how to force a crash.

Try to set your paging to automatically managed (The dumps are extracted from the pagefile after the crash). You need to have a page file on the boot partition. Tell us where your pagefile is.

This didn't work. I couldn't get the system to crash. I have a laptop, so I wasn't sure which applied to me, PS2 or USB keyboard, so I tried both. I just couldn't get the system to crash. :(

Have you had any crashes since you turned off Fast Startup?

If you have, and you have a wired connection available, turn off the wireless on the laptop. By a switch or in settings.
At least you will know if that is the cause.

No. No crashes since I turned off Fast Startup. And I replaced the old drivers for the wireless with new ones that were just issued a month ago. So it looks like Fast Startup may have been the culprit! I'll give it a couple days and of things continue to go well I will mark this solved. :)

Keep in mind that fast startup and hibernation are very closely related.

I know that. And I don't use hibernation.

Glad to hear it's stable.

Let us know if it is still stable in a couple of days.
Mark this thread 'Solved' if it is.
