    I am completely frustrated with Windows 8!! I bought my laptop Aug 24th and its now Sept 20 and I am SICK of these problems but yet its too late to return my machine so I have to figure out all these problems myself!!

    1)Windows will click itself off at LEAST 8-10 times a day - this is horrible for my hard drive!  Its going to ruin my machine before I've had it for 2 months...grrrrrrr. I have also lost my AUTOCAD projects, Office docs etc cuz it clicks off whenever it feels like it (and yes, I do save as I go along but it still causes me to lose the work I was doing after the last save...I shouldn't have to save every keystroke I make!)

    2)First blue screen error:SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - this fix was supposed it fix it but it didn't on mine.  Control Panel/System Security/Find and Fix Problems/Fix Problems with Windows Update/Troubleshoot as Admin.  I did this twice and both times I had a hard drive error and Windows Update componenet problem...it fixed them both.  So I thought it worked but NO it didn't.

    3)Now my next blue screen I get it PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.  How do I fix this???????

    And my BIG questions is WHY did you release Windows 8 with all these problems????  It leaves the user to figure out and fix the problems by themselves and for the money we pay for these machines it just isn't fair!  Why didn't you wait until you fixed ALL the bugs???  I know there is always bugs but NOT this many.

    Please advise on how to PERMENATLEY fix #2 and #3

    A bugcheck (BSOD) is a mechanism to protect your PC from damage.



    To see the cause I have to take a look at the dumps with the Debugging Tools for Windows.

    Please start the Windows Explorer and go to the folder C:\Windows\Minidump. Next, copy the dmp files to your desktop, zip all dmp into 1 zip file and upload the zip file to your public Skydrive [1] folder and post a link here.

    If you can't see dmp files, make sure your Windows is configured correctly [2][3] to generate dumps.

    If you want to analyze them your own, check those videos [4][5] and read this KB article [6].

    The two earliest DMP's would not open, the third was Related to BHDrvx64.sys BASH Driver from Symantec Corporation.  I would remove Symantec and use the built in defender.

    BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff88018ca8cab, fffff880183482a0, 0}

    These two links are the same as are the three DMPS.  The cause is the same.  See above.

    Wanikiya & Dyami--Team Zigzag and Andre,

    Thank you all so much for the time you took to help me...I do feel better now that I know I have a support system for this.

    I uninstalled Norton and configured Defender.

    I have several projects I will be working on today so we will see if this worked...if it did I will mark this as "Answered"...fingers crossed!!!

    Thanks again!

    Well my joy was short lived.  It clicked off on me 3 times yesterday and this morning I got another blue screen that says CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

    My computer won't let me upload the minidump to my skydrive for some reason...it says its in use by another app.

    What do you usually open this file with?  I can open and paste it here...

    Blue Screen View Snips are not at all useful.  First BSV is often wrong and not used by people that analyze DMPS professionally.  Second, we need the ability to examine the contents and that can only be done from the DMP file.

    Oh I was unaware that the screenshot would not be useful as my Skydrive wouldn't let me upload the doc so I downloaded a program just to get the dump file to you.  Sorry that wasn't what you needed.

    I have clicked off 4 times while trying to upload the zipped dump file to my drive.  I was successful and got it uploaded for you.  Please unzip and take a look.
