"Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart" message - Repeating Restart Problem
I have the same problem after installing Windows 8: "Your PC run into a problem and need to restart"


Repeating restart after my PC shutting down, restart, or downloading anything.

You got a buchcheck. 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.

A driver called Lock Folder XP (LFSys.sys) is the cause:

*******************************************************************************

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 82b1e5ee, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: bdc0faf8, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

You should do a memory test (use the tool from Windows or memtest86+).

Looks like the original poster may have bailed out of this thread. His query was not answered. I have encountered the same thing, on several HPs and Acers. AS the install does not complete, it is difficult, if not impossible, for him to produce a dump file, let alobne open File explorer.. The error file in the left over remains of the installation, reveal nothing.

His query was not answered.

In a way it was.   A problem driver and module was identified.

Another approach would be to try booting in VGA mode, changing drivers if necessary, and seeing how far that takes you.

I'm having a similar problem trying to install Windows 8 from scratch. Kinda hard to get a dump file when you can't even install windows 8
January 9th, 2013 7:16pm

I am having the same problem... it occurs whenever I am playing games like angry birds or watching a movie...

Here's the link to the dump files : http://sdrv.ms/XsuoAv

Also, I should state that since my pc is rather old it does not have any windows 8 graphics drivers released by intel, so I am using the old win7 driver. (The default win8 built-in driver did not support openGL required for angry birds).

Thanks in advance.

Try updating NVidia drivers and checking memory with Memtest86+

You are experiencing memory corruption errors. Obviously, this can be cause either by a ring0 (kernel) driver such as nvlddmkm.sys (which is mentioned), or by "external" issues, read hardware, that is RAM modules.

Nvidia drivers have a flaw in the mentioned driver, see Nvidia Display Driver Service Attack Escalates Privileges On Windows Machines

If you don't want to, I'd wait for Andre Ziegler as he's far more experienced than me.

I would try the following video driver for 64-bit VGA drivers for NVidia adapters, download version 310.90 for Windows 8

Interestingly, you get the following bugcheck code: Bug Check 0x8B:  MBR_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH (code 139)

What if you do the following:

1. Remove current NVidia drivers.

2. Run sfc/scannow at the elevated command prompt.

3. Run chkdsk c: /r.

4. Install new video dr

Hi,

You seem to have the same problem as mentioned in this thread: Windows 8 Power_Driver_State_Failure message

Check Andre's recommendations over there.

Also, check to see if you can disable power saving settings for your Wi-Fi adapter.

That's what's failing:

What do you mean by running down? Do you mean to say your PC is continuously showing you the logo but Boot Manger does not show up, correct?

This may be caused by different issues, but if this is before you see the boot manager, it could indicate BIOS issues. Are you using UEFI or BIOS? In other words, I recommend you updating your motherboard's BIOS.

To check what firmware you are using:

1. Press WindowsKey then type 'cmd' (without quotes), click Command Prompt while holding Ctrl+Shift pressed.

2. Confirm UAC elevation.

3. At the command prompt type:

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /v /enum

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier              {c63458a7-5a77-4d98-acb6-da038c7d3dfb}
device                  partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2
path                    \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi

Check the value of the path parameter. If it contains EFI, you are using UEFI firmware.

The fact you are using 32-bit OS on a 64-bit capable CPU isn't an issue at all. That's all is more firmware or device driver related issue.

By the way, why don't you install 64-bit flavor of Windows 8? WoW64 emulation works like a charm, you wouldn't face any issue nowadays.

Bug Check 0x7A: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff559211%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

The KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x0000007A. This bug check indicates that the requested page of kernel data from the paging file could not be read into memory.

WinDbg tells me you have a HDD issue:

*******************************************************************************

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000004, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
Arg2: 0000000000000200, error status (normally i/o status code)

Hi, try something like S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Tools

It's very strange though... Since Windows 7, Windows is capable of checking S.M.A.R.T. data from disk drives and reporting of the issues to the end-user.

Alternatively, you may download a LiveCD with HDD test/repairing tools like Hiren's Live CD and, when booted, run Victoria or MHDD tools from

January 31st, 2013 9:18pm

So in other words, do I just download/install the S.M.A.R.T Monitoring tool?  After I run that, would it be fixed?

Any S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tool is just an informer that reads statistical data provided by hardware controller in your hard disk device via Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology protocol. In other words, these tool read values of S.M.A.R.T. parameters from a disk device and report them to you. Based on these values tools make a prognosis of device malfunction.

If this prognosis reports bad values, it *may* (and DOES NOT have to be true), with some level (nobody knows what) of probability, indicate that data should be backed up as soon as possible.

For example, if such a parameter as Reallocated Sectors Count (see the linked article on Wikipedia for more details about other S.M.A.R.T. parameters) has big values, it usually indicates a dramatic problem with your device: it means that device is having problems with sectors that store data. When the disk controller faces issues with reading data (the B.E.R, bit error rate is high, that is it makes multiple attempt to read data from a sector), it marks such sector as bad and copies data to another sector. Such copied sector is called as reallocated sector. So please pay attention to the value of this parameter. Basically, S.M.A.R.T. tools highlight parameters with worse values in red.

The biggest problem for me is that I don't really understand how to run all of these "fixers".  I know most of the basics, but I don't want to mess anything up.  

You don't have to, you can just run them, do a screenshot and post it here, or else, just try replacing your hard drive.

Well, I'll quote myself then, all the links have already been posted:

"

Hi, try something like S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring Tools

It's very strange though... Since Windows 7, Windows is capable of checking S.M.A.R.T. data from disk drives and reporting of the issues to the end-user.

Alternatively, you may download a LiveCD with HDD test/repairing tools like Hiren's Live CD and, when booted, run Victoria or MHDD tools from there.

"

Burn the downloaded Hiren's Boot CD onto a CD, start your PC from that CD, launch the MHDD from there and do a complete scan of all hard drives found by that tool. That's all to it. Please don't hesitate to ask for more.

You are using BIOS. Well, if your power line is stable and there's a little chance of power outage, I would update your BIOS.

Also, I would:

1. Turn on UEFI option if it's supported in new BIOS

2. Turn on AHCI interface for your storage controller (can be done in BIOS)

3. Re-install Windows 8 and choose 64-bit version.

UEFI is a PC firmware initiative that has been created to replace the dated BIOS I/O subsystem. Think of it as a compact operating system that resides right in the PC hardware. The UEFI system never starts in real mode (unlike BIOS systems) and then passes control right into protected mode (the OS), see more detail here.

This provides several advantages over BIOS systems including full access to extended memory, multithreaded initialization (?), etc, see Wiki article.

AHCI is a different protocol for disc controller interface (compared to IDE, developed by Western Digital) and provides for optimized performance thanks to support for SCSI multiprocessing of device commands such as NCQ (Native Command Queuing), although it's not compatible with IDE. You have to re-install Windows (or 'hack' its driver stack loaded at startup) for Windows to start with ACHI after changing from IDE without getting 0x7B STOP code on disk access.

In this video you can find out how you could enable AHCI mode without having to re-install Windows. The trick is:

1. Add AHCI-enabled drivers to Windows as it is running in IDE mode; there are two of them

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci

You have to browse to these keys in Windows registry and set the Start value for them to 0 (zero). When set to 0x0 (0 in decimal notation), the Start parameter enables the configured service to run at boot with all the kernel drivers, see CurrentControlSet\Services Subkey Entries

2. Restart the PC and change from IDE to AHCI in BIOS.

3. Start the PC again, Windows will load AHCI driver.

I can say that wouldn't necessary work in all cases, it did NOT work in mine.

By enabling ACHI mode for your storage device, you will gain data reading performance and hence boost Windows startup sli

You have multiple failures associated with corrupt memory. Are you sure your memory hasn't been overclocked? Does you CPU run on its regular clocks? I will second Andre and suggest you to check your memory first by downloading a LiveCD such as Hiren CD, booting from there and checking your RAM memory.

This may be caused by an overclocked GPU memory as well, but I will really see into checking RAM at first.

1. Press WindowsKey+R and type 'devmgmt.msc' (without quotes), then hit Enter.

2. In the Device Manager opened navigate to Network adapters node and expand it.

3. Under the Network adapters node find your Atheros network adapter and double-click it to open its properties dialog box.

4. In the Properties dialog box switch to Details tab.

5. On the Details tab scroll through the Property drop-down list and locate the Hardware Ids item, like in the figure below.

6. Copy the first line in the list by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+C, then paste the copied text into the Google's search bar within your browser.

For example, in the case above the copied line would be:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_047E1028&REV_04

7. Requesting the line with Google you'll get what version of the Atheros hardware you have installed.

For example, for the line above the results show that I have Intel(R) 82579LM Network Interface Card (NIC).

8. When the hardware is found, go to the http://www.atheros.cz/ web site and download the appropriate driver from there.

9. Unpack the downloaded ZIP archive and return back to the properties dialog of the Atheros NIC opened from the Device Manager.

10. In the Properties dialog box switch to the Driver tab and click Update driver.

11. In the Update Driver Software wizard's window click Browse my computer for driver software.

12. On the Browse for driver software for your computer page click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

13. On the Select Network Adapter page click Have disk... and past the path to the folder with unpacked driver in the Copy manufacturer's files from edit box, or browse for the path with the Browse button, then click OK.

if you already see 17 errors, you can stop the test. The RAM is damaged. Now you should test each RAM module alone, remove the other RAM modules, to see which one is damaged.

Hi, no problem. There's nothing that can be late here.

Could you please specify which one do you use? Please post a link.

Also, are you trying to install the driver using its built-in setup installer? If so, please unpack the setup distribution and install the driver without using its installer.

In either way, post a link to the driver or specify the VID and HID (the vendor ID and Hardware ID) of your NIC so that I could check the specific driver and provide more detailed guidelines.

Cheers.

I have encountered this problem just after trying to "wake up" my brand new T530.  Unfortunately, the only solution was to re-image the machine.  Thankfully, I had all my data in the cloud.

Just re-image the machine.  Key sections of the OS have been corrupted.  There is really no other way out of this problem.  In any case, none that I have discovered.

Sounds like a possible hardware problem. You can't restore an image if the machine won't even power up.

Boot your PC from a Windows Setup disk or USB stick with Windows 8 files and run Troubleshooter from there. See here for more detail:

Troubleshoot, repair or recovery Windows 8 with Windows 8 Installations DVD!

All of your BSODs are critical and may be cause by a boot driver, corrupt memory module, or faulty BIOS/UEFI firmware.

When you create a recovery ISO, does the wizard delete all the files from the destination disk where to you are saving the recovery image?
February 18th, 2013 2:46am

Additionally, try the following steps, I am quoting from here:

"C:

CHKDSK /R

 

Please also run the following command:

 

Bcdboot C:\windows

 

NOTE: Replace C with the drive letter where the system is installed.

 

BOOTREC /FIXMBR

BOOTREC /FIXBOOT

BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD

BOOTREC /SCANOS

"

Additionally, try bootsect /nt60 /force c: to apply the boot code to the system partition.

If boot sector, boot manager, and boot record are okay, make sure your partition is active using ACTIVE command of the DISKPART that you can start from the Windows 8 setup disc's console. To start the console from the setup, boot into setup wizard and press Shift+F10 right when you are present with the welcome screen prompting to select languages and time.

Also, check this my thread: How Do I Migrate My VHD Boot x64 System Install to a New Hardware? Enabling AHCI in Windows 8 After OS Install   

There's a post that contains a step-by-step instruction on recovering  boot files for a raw VHD drive with Windows that does not contain any boot files. This also applies to physical drives where you could recover your system if its boot files have been corrupted:

1. Mark the partition with boot files as active.

2. Patch the system partition with a boot code using bootsect.

3. Add the boot manager using bcdboot.

4. Rebuild the Boot Configuration Database using this script: http://reboot.pro/12466/

Hi, could you please try the following driver: Atheros AR7010 WLAN Driver 2.0.0.32 for Windows 7/Windows 8, it seems to provide compatibility with Windows 8.

Or, if you are using a 64-bit Windows 8, download this driver: Atheros AR7010 WLAN Driver 2.0.0.32 for Windows 7 x64/Windows 8 x64.

1. Unpack the downloaded 20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e.cab Cabinet File (the file name and the procedure below are written for the 64-bit driver).

2. Now follow the procedure above and install the driver by pointing the Update Driver Software wizard to the folder where you extracted the CAB files.

Hi, try this.

1. Press WindowsKey and type 'cmd' (without quotes), then click Command Prompt.

2. In the command prompt window started run the following sequence of commands (one by one):

C:\Windows\system32\cd %userprofile%\downloads
C:\Users\%username%\Downloads>mkdir 20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e
C:\Users\%username%\Downloads>expand 20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e.cab .\20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e -F:*

Note:

The first command changes current directory from C:\Windows\system32, which is the default command prompt, to C:\Users\Matthew\downloads.

The second one creates a subfolder named 20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e under C:\Users\Matthew\downloads

The last third command extracts the 20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e.cab that resides under C:\Users\Matthew\downloads to C:\Users\Matthew\downloads\20328101_77bc0d51cde118a551e425e551427819c45c435e.

Copy the commands line by line, paste into the command prompt and press Enter after each of the pasted command to run them.

For example, to change current directory,

in the command prompt window started right-click and choose Paste to paste the copied cd %userprofile%\downloads command at the command prompt, then hit Enter. Current directory will change to C:\Users\Matthew\downloads. Do the same with other two commands, see figure below:

Any help in how to compress these files? 

BTW, if you're using WinRAR, enable it to open shared files:

and make sure you are saving the target archive to a non-protected folder such as My documents.

Hey Andre, or whoever can help me...
I recently got a new Toshiba computer, it's not even a month old, and I've already had this problem a few times, but I can't figure out what's causing it :( Ran the memory test, everything is fine, also I read everything here and did not find anything that could help me. Here are the .dmp files https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=52AF00AB80D4B511!178&authkey=!ABYlloYud6E0LJs
I really really hope someone can help me.

Ian, these are setup files for ATI/AMD VGA cards' drivers that should update the video drivers on your system. You can check, sometimes the beta drivers perform better than the stable WHQLed ones on new platforms like Windows 8.

Hi Andre,

Im having exactly the same problem as SonyVoioUser, with "Your PC ran into a problem. This problem caused your PC to restart."

Its frustrating because other than these random restarts Ive found Window 8 to be the best thing since Windows for Work Groups! :)

Your system is failing to go to sleep (the S3 power state). If you cannot update your network card drivers, do the following:

1. Press WindowsKey+R and type 'devmgmt.msc' (without quotes) then press Enter.

2. Navigate to the Network adapters node and double-click your Atheros NIC.

3. In the properties window navigate to the Power Management tab and temporary set all the check boxes off.

Please feel free to ask for more assistance.

P.S.: These Atheros is a complete nightmare. In my experience they are causing like 90 percent of system failures on Windows 8. I think MSFT should think of punishing Atheros for providing faulty driver software because this is going to be serious now. People blame Windows and Microsoft when the issue is the driver

Hi Andre,

Me too. I'm facing this same Windows 8 startup loop nightmare on my Maingear Superstock Shift desktop PC. That update did successfully complete on my Dell desktop XPS All-in-One.  

I work on this every day, scanning the Internet for clues. HOWEVER, one of the biggest obstacles I face while trying to find useful advice online is context. Many experts give instructions that could only be followed if my PC was actually running.

But, I feel certain that the Windows Critical Update on May 8, 2013 at 3:13 PM EST, was what triggered the problem on my PC. When that Update showed onscreen that it was 30 percent loaded, my system started going into this same endless restart loop.

I can't get into safe mode and nothing else has helped so far. System Restore only shows me the single restore point from immediately before that Critical update, so that when System Restore says all of my files were successfully loaded, my PC immediately starts trying to perform that same Critical Update that crashes at 30 percent.

I'm not very tech savvy, so I don't know how to give you better input than this. Can you please, please help me?

Thank you so much for your consideration.

This screen makes me want to get the old hated BSODs back, which gave you at least an initial hint what was going on.

My laptop seems to restart that way always, if I have an active UMTS connection during hibernating and wake up after (only with Windows 8, not with Windows 7).

BTW wouldn't it be time to split up this thread to reduce the extreme loading times?

Try disabling network interface card in BIOS, then restart the PC and start it with malware protection turned off by pressing SHIFT+F8 during the boot time.

When SHIFT+F8 is not working for you, boot your PC from a Windows 8 setup disc (you can just copy setup files to a USB stick and boot from there) and follow the procedure in this KB2809468 article: How to easily enter safe mode in windows 8? (One-click series)

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/20/reengineering-the-windows-boot-experience.aspx

 

Can you boot to a cmd window?   Presumably then you could use Event viewer?

Unfortunately there are a lot of things that we can't do then which seem natural.  I don't know why the Win/PE is so limited.   I understand why it is limited by time but why functionality?  E.g. we can't even use standalone programs which are installed in the OS partition?

[opening .dmp file in windbg shows

BugCheck D1, {b0, 2, 0, fffff88001770d3d}]

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ndis/archive/2006/11/04/what-causes-a-bug-check-0xd1-irql-not-less-or-equal.aspx

 (Microsoft search for
    bugcheck d1
)

<quote>

This bugcheck can only be fixed by the engineer that developed the driver.  You should check with the manufacturer to see if there is an updated driver to download.

</quote>

So, your only problem now is knowing what is "the driver".   ; }

Try some of the hints that have been left by some of the previous posts?...

Otherwise, first clue would be that 4th parameter which looks like an address

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560244(v=vs.85).aspx

(BING search for
    bugcheck d1  site:msdn.microsoft.com
)

<quote>

4     

Address that referenced memory

</quote>

Good guess!

The analyze command suggests NETIO.

lm command shows that is

fffff880`01737000 fffff880`017a6000   NETIO    T (no symbols)

Compare:             fffff88001770d3d      (it fits between both addresses, beginning and end)

So, that looks consistent with that detail.  

Who owns  NETIO and what else is known about it from the dump?

I think either Andre or Exotic Hadron have hinted that is possible in windbg.

However, on your own system, given this clue, you could do that yourself with more conventional end-user techniques..

PS F:\Windows\System32\Drivers> get-item netio.sys | fl *

So, that shows that the module issuing the bugcheck is probably not the problem module.

Does the analyze report give any more clues?...

Maybe.   Looks like it should from Andre's examples.   But I'm on W7 so I think I may have to wait until I get back to W8.   ; )

update the driver epfwwfpr.sys:

"Windows Filtering Platform"?   What's that?   FWIW I don't even have it--anywhere.   Maybe he doesn't need it too?   (Then disabling it would probably change the symptom.)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463267.aspx

Sounds like this could be another victim of an as yet unknown misuser.

It's apart of ESET NOD32 Antivirus same thing happened with windows 7 but MS released a hotfix for it but so far can not find one for windows 8.

same thing happened with windows 7 but MS released a hotfix for it but so far can not find one for windows 8.

In that case check your WinSxS to see if there is an LDR version of it.   Perhaps your Hotfix will be there?

Coincidentally I have been experimenting with PowerShell recently in this area:

PS C:\Windows\WinSxS> dir *xpspr* | foreach-object {dir $_\xpsprint.dll} | sort-object LastWriteTime | select -Property LastWriteTime, @{Name="FileVersion";Expression={$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}}  | fl *

So, that was with xpsprint.dll.   Modify it how ever you need to to find your epfwwfpr  modules.   Note that the first stage of the pipeline is just an optimizer so we don't have to do a recursion all the way down to the file level for the whole WinSxS archive.

 
Good luck

WFP, or Windows Filtering Platform is a set of filters for network stack and shims that choose what filters a necessary to accomplish a specific task, which is a replacement for the Transport Driver Interface (TDI)/Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), and Winsock Layered Service Providers (LSP).

What you see is a ESET's implementation of the WFP driver used in NOD32's firewall.

an I/O error while trying to read one of its files, so it can be caused by
hardware problems or filesystem corruption.
It may occur due to a failure in a refresh operation, which is used only
in by the security system, and then only when resource limits are encountered.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 8ff79899, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 9f4ff780, Trap Frame

Doesn't look like an essential device.  Why not just disable that one?  Then presumably its suspect driver would not be loaded and therefore could not cause a crash.

BTW I tried all day yesterday to post this idea from W8.   Now on W7 maybe I'll have more luck.   ; ]

FWIW I think it would be great if this thread was locked and users started their own incident reports with their own details.  I (facetiously) made the suggestion that if they need a way to attract Andre's dump shooting service, there should be a new forum created to ensure that happens.  Then monster threads like this would be unnecessary for that reason too.  <eg>
