Unfortunately I could not find a solution and eventually had to reinstall windows. Even after booting into safe mode and removing the wireless drivers I could still not boot, and when trying to restore I got an error saying there were write protected files that could not be overridden. I was...

I ran ddu again and uninstalled all amd components in device manager and control panel. I haven't had a crash in a week. Solution: Uninstalled all AMD software and only installed the graphics driver. I did this by deselecting everything else in the AMD driver installer. So happy to finally...

Here is the administrative events view. My laptop is from 2012, I've never had any problems with it. Here's another thing; I ran chkdsk, restarted the computer, and then the 'scanning and repairing drive' thing at login got stuck at 10%. I read this means that it's probably damaged. I didn't...

Ok, it's been about 2 days since I've had a crash, but I just had one. Again, there was no minidump. This is the second or third time the computer has crashed exactly when I started playing a youtube video. I have disabled most of the drivers. Have any ideas why this could be? Edit: Forgot to...

Alright, I'm back, and I've started to remove the drivers I can. I removed AMD FUEL, apparently I don't really need it, speedfan, iTunes (it has the gearaspiwdm.sys driver), and a couple others, but how do I remove drivers like usbfilter.sys or amdacpksl.sys, or do I even remove them? Both...

I am going out of town until Tuesday, so I won't be able to help until then. I hope we can continue this then, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, and thanks for your reply. I uninstalled Afterburner and RivaTuna, but I do not know how to remove cpudrv64. I have never heard of 'Can I run it'. I see that near Cpudrv64 on the page you linked is Cpuz by CPUID, which I have now uninstalled. I used to have OverDrive installed on my...

Hey everyone. I recently built my first custom PC. Here is a link to the build on PCPartPicker: AMD FX-6300, Sapphire Radeon R9 270, Corsair 300R - Ordered build updated - ajthemacboy's Saved Part List - PCPartPicker Since then I have had random black screen issues. At one point I reinstalled...

Similar issue, although my computer screen just goes black. The only way to recover is to hard reboot. One time the minidump blamed BasicRender.sys, but the other 3 times I've caught a minidump they blame ntoskrnl.exe+153ca0. Here is a link to my minidump...

Windows 8.1 Flashing Cursor at login, can't restore Hi everyone. I made my first custom pc about a month ago and today I started having issues with the wireless card. I restarted to see if I could fix it and when I booted back up I got a black screen with a flashing cursor and an unplugged...

The deed is done. I installed windows 8 using windows 8.1 rtm, and used my key to activate it. Thanks so much guys, I would have been nowhere without you. I really appreciate it! Thread closed.

So everyone agrees this can't be fixed? I should reinstall? I'm ready if I have to be :p

Sri, that's not the problem. The firmware doesn't recognize where the partitions start/stop on the hard drive, without the EFI information. Edwin, is there anyway I can download the iso file directly? That page requires you to download an installer, which doesn't work on mac, even with CrossOver.
