    BSOD after Windows Logo


    Hey guys...
    So my sister's laptop crashed after she started some game she didn't play in ages (Sims). It won't load the windows after the Windows logo. Only a BSOD. I can't go into safe mode, also I tried to restore to some restore point via the Windows Recovery which I can access.

    Any ideas? I don't want to reinstall the Windows.
    It can't be a virus because she never downloads anything and that game worked perfectly a few months back when she played it.

    Its an Asus Ultrabook UX31E.

    Thanks guys

    Hello :)
    What is the bugcheck code you're getting?

    Follow this tutorial and select Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure that way it won't restart
    right away and you can snap a picture of the BSOD.




    Upload it here.

    Thanks :) .
    0xF4 is usually storage related, but seeing it's an SSD it only makes diagnosing more complicated.
    Is that the only bugcheck code you're getting?
    Can you maybe share some more information about what led up to the crash?
    Did the PC had any issue (as small as they might seem) in the past?

    First I would salvage the files regardless of the end outcome.
    Follow this tutorial to save your files and get the dump files at the same chance.


    The dumps are located at:
    Code:
    C:\Windows\Minidump\*.dump
    Upload all available dumps.

    If that is the only bugcheck you're facing and once all important data is backed up.
    I would try a repair install.

    I went do Windows but I can't find any minidumps folder over there..
    So I searched for the word dump in the search bar and I got a lot of CrashDump files. They end with .sys
    Is that okay? Which one of them should I upload?

    Unfortunately not , ***dump.sys are drivers which are being accessed during a crash dump
    to enable access to the disk during the bugcheck.

    You didn't answer my question about the bugcheck codes, is that the only one?
    Have you backed up your data regardless?
    Has anything changed?
