Windows 8 system thread exception not handled?
I've had windows 8 since October. So far no problems. Today it kept repeatedly spitting out that error message. I haven't installed anything new or done anything different with it. I tried using ccleaner to clear the registry. Didn't work. Reset windows 8 and it still persists. The only thing I haven't done is completely reinstall windows 8. Is this I've had windows 8 since October. So far no problems. Today it kept repeatedly spitting out that error message. I haven't installed anything new or done anything different with it. I tried using ccleaner to clear the registry. Didn't work. "refreshed" windows 8 and it still persists. The only thing I haven't done is completely reinstall windows 8. Now it's saying system thread exception not handled and not letting me boot at all.

Can I install Windows 8/7 in a laptop that comes with Windows 10 installed?
You can install a separate partition, if you have enough HDD space and yes, you need to install drivers separately, as Win 10 and Win 8 won’t be able to “get to know one another.” Before you proceed, MAKE A BACK-UP of all the data, to avoid losing photos, audios and other documents. To install Windows 8, do the following:Insert the Windows 8 Installation disk/USB drive;Restart the PC go to BIOS and set the DVD-ROM/USB drive as the first boot device;* In BIOS navigate to Boot Device Priority (or to First boot device on some BIOSes) and move the DVD - ROM/USB to the first place, using the arrow keys and Enter.Exit BIOS and press any key once asked;Follow the on-screen instructions and once you see the drives, delete one of the drives (not the drive Windows is installed in (usually, Drive 1, the smallest in GB size - not the system-reserved one);* MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACK-UP of all the data, before you delete the drive.Make new drives (one at least 97.5 GB - write 100000 and the other, with what has remained of the drive you deleted).Install Windows 8 in the small drive (97.5 GB);You can also consider installing VMware, in Windows 10, and install Windows 8 as a virtual operating system.Sources: Don't know how to install an operating system (Windows)
0xc000000f - windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. No bios access!?
Not really a car question, but I am an IT tech for a large enterprise that has been using Lenovo (we are dumping that brand this year). The message is coming from the Windows boot manager so it seems that is the problem. The boot info (I think Windows 8 still uses boot.ini) has to reside somewhere and it is normally placed on the senior partition... in this case the now-formatted Windows 7 partition. Copying a plain-vanilla boot.ini from a working single boot Windows 8 computer should make it happy. The drive in the laptop (again, assuming it is like the T-series we use) is a standard SATA interface. You can remove the hard drive, connect it to a desktop in place of a DVD drive, and work with it that way. The only precaution is to manually select the boot device... having 2 active partitions can cause confusion. There is one other (not as likely) possibility. Lenovo has had big reliability problems with their laptop hard drives for several years. It just does not fit your sequence of events. Most models have a hard drive test utility built into the BIOS and it works very well for the failures we have seen. I don't know why you are having trouble accessing BIOS. At worst you can remove the hard drive, access the BIOS, and set the boot device to something else that is not available, then try it again.
What will happen if I deleted a Linux partition on a dual-boot PC? Will Windows work?
Thanks for A2A.Yes and No, depending on how you configured your partitions in the first place.If you have the bootloader (probably GRUB) installed on a separate /boot partition (which is usually the case, unless you changed the installation settings), then YES, your Windows installation should work perfectly. You will just have two little nuisances:If GNU/Linux is your default boot option, you will either have to edit the bootloader configuration files, or wait every time you boot your box to press the down key and select Windows entry. A little thing, but still a nuisance.You will have a dead entry in your boot menu for GNU/Linux. It’s not harmful, and sure you can easily remove it by editing the bootloader config file.On the other hand, if you are one of the poor souls who just dump everything in one partition (that is, system root, /boot and /home, which are usually separate partitions), then, delete the partition and you are screwed. This is because GRUB will not find the 1.5 and 2nd stage bootloader files, which are usually found under /boot. That means you get no boot menu, no boot options, nada. You can’t access Windows, GNU/Linux, or essentially anything else. Windows will still be there on the disk, but you will need at least to fix the bootloader, or reinstall the Windows bootloader on the Master Boot Record of your disk.So, check how your disk is configured first.Hope this helps.
Are Windows XP process/registry cleaners worth the money?
I can't answer about the Process cleaners because I control the processes that are running by the programs that start at boot up. You can do this as follows. A major cause of a slow PC is programs that are running in the background. Here's another really good Microsoft tool. Go to Start > Run > type in msconfig in the box and click OK. This will bring up a window with several tabs at the top. Click on the “Startup” tab. It will list the programs that are running on your PC and eating up resources. Look them over carefully and turn off any that don’t absolutely have to be running. Simply click on the “check mark” in the little box beside the program name. Clicking on it will remove the check mark. Once you have edited the Startup list, click on Apply and then on OK. Once you have exited the window, reboot your PC for the settings to take effect. WARNING: Don’t go into the other tabs and start deleting things. You will probably give yourself major headaches if you do that. Stay focused on the Startup List only. Regarding the Registry Cleaners, yes they work and it is necessary to maintain your registry. Lot's of people don't realize that a PC requires maintainence to keep it running efficiently. The hard drive gets badly fragmented and the registry gets poluted with partial and obsolete entries simply from everyday activity on your PC. I'd recommend a reg cleaner very strongly and you should run it at least once or twice a week. There are several available for free at http://www.download.com or http://www.zdnet.com I bought Registry Mechanic and use it religiously. Hope this helps.
