BSOD system thread exception after turning pc on from sleep

Wodgy · 25 Oct 2014 at 22:15

So , i was having this problem now and again which just started happening for no apparent reason.
I Decided to uninstall amd(gpu drivers) and try ddu and a reinstall but after uninstalling the drivers i could not load ddu ( also catalyst uninstaller stopped responding after uninstall finished).
So i restarted my pc and now cant boot into windows. It gets to the time/date screen but i cant load up the box to put my password in. (Maybe usb drivers uninstalled and keyboard/mouse not working).
Where should i go from here? Shall i just reset/refresh windows? I didnt have too much stuff anyway as pc only 2 or so months old.
Sorry if my sentences are everwhere. Typing on phone.
Please help.
Regards.

Also , how would i wipe the hdd and reinstall windows 8.1. Do i just insert the cd and pick some option? Would the bios still be there?
regards.

stick your windows 8.1 cd or usb in, f10(or whatever key it is for your motherboard) to select boot device, boot from the cd or usb, follow the prompts. Nice and easy.

Ah cool. Will this wipe the hdd and reinstall without a problem then bear in mind ive already uninstalled all gpu drivers.

Sorry to drag this out but dont want to mess this up.
when i format my hdd with the windows 8.1 disk do i have to insert the mobo disk again for chipset drivers etc or can i just get into windows and download the latest ones for my board?
regards.

Ah cheers guys. One more question. Shall i do an original format deleting the drive partitions etc or shall i use the "reset" that comes with windows 8.1?
first time doing this so just making sure i do it correct.
regards.

As i've just installed an SSD. If I just unplug my HDD and install windows on my SSD , could I just wipe/format my HDD later on?
Would this cause any problems?

And yes it would cause problems with 2 windows installs in one system. Your caution saved complication.

Ive found some threads on the forum finally and it seems ok as ssd will be the boot drive it would be fine.
Thanks for the imput anyway.

Apologies that I keep coming back to this but the "refresh" option on my windows 8.1 disk has worked (arbeit lots of programs have been removed etc). So now, can I just format/erase this entire HDD of everything (o/s) etc so I can install my o/s on my SSD and do a fresh install of everything else on the HDD?
When I click on "format" it doesn't allow me access as it's my C drive.
I appreciate all the help, this forum is amazing.
Regards.

If I've understood what you want to do correctly, you'd need to unplug the HDD first, then plug in the SSD and install Windows on it. Once that's done, add the HDD again (now it won't be C drive) and you should be able to format it.

Yes you have. Thank you. Is it easier to do it the way you suggest then? Instead of formatting the hdd first ? Regards.

Sorry - If a drive is not coming up in windows.. in the start box type 'disc management', and press return.

If it comes up here, and it should, you can format it etc.

Sorry I was being sarcastic hehe but thank you. I guess its best to format my HDD then once ive installed windows/drivers on my new SSD.
