strange bluescreen windows 2012 and windows 8 after update

Your best bet to solve this and find the source of the problem is to look at "Event Viewer" and look for logs for the error around the time it happened. This could be due an updated corrupt device driver.

cant start the computer. I could boot from some usb or dvd to read the log files, but there must be many out there with same problem and some must have a solution to this.

The problem is blue screen is a too general issue with dozens of possible causes.


Did you try to boot into the safe mode? It will be likely that safe mode bypasses any corrupted driver.

cant boot in safe mode at all, it always return to the error screen. This is the same on the 2012 and 8

boot from a live cd, and copy the dmp file- post it here
you find it in windows\minidumps
here a couple : - i prefer Knoppix, it is easy to make :

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/knoppix-dvd/KNOPPIX_V7.0.5DVD-2012-12-21-EN.iso      Knoppix

i did boot from hirens boot-cd and have access to the drive/data, i will post the minidump after work, thanx for help.

just a warning : that cd is illegal, and can't be used here

ok, then i will use a linux boot cd ;-) thanx

there isnt any folder or files like minidump.
There must be something with upgrade to 8.1, when i boot the 8 dvd in UEFI mode and try automatic repair i have two OS i can select, Windows 8 and Setup. running repair on them dont fix anything. I have tried different commands from CMD to repair UEFI boot, BCD etc. When i try to do a automatic repair this is the error in the srttrail.log file, the last line say : Error during installation
the files in the srt folder is attached
Srt.zip

per-w there is ALWAYS a minidump folder
but maybe you are not seeing hidden, , or system files and folders ?
to see them, open Explorer>click Organise> then select folder options
now select view tab and unclick "hide system files and folders"
personally, i also unclikc "hide extensions of known filetype'

In some way i got it to function, after running all tools to fix, update, repair BCD and running automatic repair some times and then try to reinstall windows (refresh your pc) but that didnt work and then some BCD fix/repair and then i see that both windows and windows.old was in the BCD and then run some autorepair it started up in some strange ways. It was with temporary profiles, but none of the user files or program was there since all programs etc was under windows.old. If i startet the old windows in the select OS on start screen when boot I was in the windows in windows.old, but there was no programs/files there since that also point at the new folders on root and not to the windows.old folder. Then i startet with the linux disk and renamed the windows,program files, program files (x86) and user folders on root and then moved the folders that was under windows.old folder and then it works :-)
The last problem now is that whatever i rename the folders i dont want to use (the new windows, program files etc.) it shows in explorer as windows, program files etc so now i have two folders of windows, program files, program files (x86) and users, if i go in cmd and use dir i only se one of them and i see the name i renamed them to.
I will see if i find the minidum folder to see if there is some info there to see what did happend.

from your post - it will be best to reinstall from fresh
but if you post the dmp file we can look for the cause

There isnt any dmp file att all, there isnt any mindump folder. Not hidden, not system, nothing at all.

then your OS is completely corrupted
do a fresh install - it's the best solution

ok  -so if no more help is needed, don't forget to close this

Needed to use info from many places to get it up running. BCD and auto rapair did fix it after some runs.
