Hello dear Geeks!

 

First of all thanks for reading and (potentially) helping me out!

 

I have an Asus ultrabook which came with W8 and which later I upgraded with W8.1 No anti-virus  (relying on W defender), no heavy software..

 

Out of the blue it froze one day and then wouldn't restart. The screen would come on but would get stuck. After numerous attempts (several hours) W itself created a recovery and gave an option to refresh and reset which I both did, reverting to original W8. I also ran update troubleshooter and it seemed to fix some errors.

After downloading 112 updates and installing them (in order to upgrade to W8.1 again) the computer again didn't manage to restart and W gave a message that all updates were reverted. At certain stage it also mentioned an error ' DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE'.

Now the laptop seems to be working with w8 and without any of, according to w, important updates but not sure how long it will last. Needless to say I'd rather have w 8.1 and want to start downloading and installing all my software and apps which got removed after the reset.. but wary that the bug or whatever is still there!

 

Any suggestions please?

 

thank you so much! Anna

Hi Anna :)

May I ask you, did you download the Windows Updates on your laptop from a Wireless Connection (WiFi) or an Ethernet Connection (cable) ?

It randomly freezes when downloading the updates ? Does it output a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) or not ?
Also, can you try downloading them while being on an Ethernet connection ?

hI , no NO BSOD :) 

 

Just super slow at restarting. But what does it matter how I download if the problem is in restarting? It did download and install but after it requested a reboot, WHILE rebooting W gave an error and reverted all updates.

Yeah just read that part.
In that case, we'll have to make you clean the "Downloads" folder of Windows Updates to delete all the downloaded updates, restart your laptop and redownload them. Let me find a procedure quickly on Google, otherwise I'll just type it out.

Alright so :
  • Open an elevated command prompt (a command prompt opened with Admin Rights);
  • Enter the following command : net stop wuauserv ;
  • Go in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder, select everything and delete;
  • Go back to your elevated command prompt, and enter the following command : net start wuauserv ;
  • Restart your computer and try to reinstall the Windows Updates;

Thanks!

didn't help... still says i need to install updates before I can upgrade to w8.1 (should I have re-downloaded the updates once I deleted them?) while restarting it did say that 122 updates were installed although it went so quickly I doubt that was the  case. And still takes 10 mins to start-up!!

 

not sure this is related but strangely at the start-up when I have to enter the password the keyboard changes to another language, even though I have English as default and hardly use another language (font) just for reading sometimes.. this has never happened before.

Conclusion

2 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. No offending third party drivers have been found. Connsider using WhoCrashed Professional which offers more detailed analysis using symbol resolution. Also configuring your system to produce a full memory dump may help you.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

Hi Anna,

 

It seems we need to start by updating your wireless driver, can you post the exact model of the Asus ultrabook you have?

 

Sometimes the model information is on the back or it could be hidden under the battery.
