I had the exact same issue yesterday and again today. I custom built my system 3 weeks ago. I did not have any issues installing OS and all system files. No issues what so ever until yesterday. I had the exact same issue that was mentioned by OP(blue screen, no keyboard/mouse). I took out all memory, graphics cards, and one by one reinstalled each. I was able to eventually system restore to 5 days ago. I then reinstalled the remainder of the components. I restarted multiple times yesterday. I thought I remedied the problem. I shut down last night and this morning upon restart I had the same problem again.
Just hoping we come to some resolution on this. I am at work for the next few hours but as soon as I return I will continue to troubleshoot.
Some recent windows update is causing it in a huge rate. Microsoft Black Tuesday Patches Bring Blue Screens of DeathYou need to rebuild the font cache. Go to C:\Windows\System32\ and delete the "Fntcache.dat" file there. Then restart the computer. On restart, a fresh font cache will be built.
If you cannot access to the fonts folder in normal mode, try in safe mode and safe mode with command prompt (see Advanced Boot Options). In Safe Mode also does not work (usually it works), try a live linux like Puppy.
Hopefully the issue will be over.
Um well, this is fun, I just left my PC with TV tuner running for a few minutes, having NOT reinstalled the updates, and I got a complete PC freeze, with accompanying buzzing drone noise. So it looks like even after a restore it has caused some permanent damage either to my PC or to my Windows install, can I sue Microsoft ...
So I installed the updates, renamed fntcache.dat to fntcache.old, rebooted OK, now it has made a new fntcache.dat which seems to be identical to the old one.....
