Windows 8.1 stops working and a blue screen appears without doing what I wanted to do.
Sounds like a "Frowny face" (aka STOP, BSOD)? What code?
Such a symptom generally is a symptom of a hardware problem (or at least some kind of driver), so you need to identify the driver involved to get a better clue than whatever you are getting from your STOP event. Also, check in the Event log (or perhaps
the Reliability Monitor) to get more details more easily than trying to capture information by transcription. However, I have never had a "Frowny face" STOP event to deal with so maybe there is something more that you could do with it than I imagine.
