hi there,

I recently installed Windows 8 for the 5th time now. It was working great and my last windows update was the microsoft framework for windows 8. Everything was working fine up untill i was on youtube watching a video in full screen and then suddenly my computer freezes, waited around 5min nothing happened so did the usual turn of by the button and when the boot screen came up nothing was happening except for the windows 8 circle just kept spinning. Restarted the system again and pressed windows + C key to get into the automatic repair which it did and then froze again but restarted again and the system is now working fine so far. Does anyone know what the cause of this is? and im just afraid it will happen again and dont really want to install windows 8 for the 7th time. Someone help!

hi there,
Have tried finding the minidump folder but all my computer is telling me is it could not find any results for the mini dump folder?

Any other solutions?

Did you use Windows Explorer or COmputer and look in c:\windows\minidump?

Does the minidump folder exist under C:\Windows?

I have already checked my harddrives. Went through the disk cleanup process the defragmentation and chkdsk in cmd. None of them brought any errors. I think its just windows 8
