Windows 8 BSOD System Service Exception

If the crash happened before this update I would say (if it happens on new laptops / desktops) its probably the bloatware / all the trash / crapware PC companies put on their desktops / laptops.

Remove all of it before you install 2778344

One reason why I build my computers. I wont get all the trash / rubbish companies put on theirs,.

I understand your grief. The problem is totally unacceptable.

If you had the BSODs since last week (around Feb 14) then it's almost certain that cause is the 2778344 update. But for you and some other people who started getting the BSODs as far back as last December, or this January, then the update is certainly not the cause (because it didn't exist at that time yet).

I find it hard to believe that new machines that have just been bought can have hardware faults. It should have been software fault. And so, by trial-and-error, maybe you can figure out what piece of software that caused it. It takes a lot of patience, I know. But some times it's worth it in the end.

Hi there.. I am having this problem too. I bought a computer just before Xmas and had to take that one back 2 days later because Windows 8 was faulty and wouldn't work properly. The techs said it would take too long to find the problem and gave me a replacement. This laptop is no better really even though I have managed for 2 months now!!! This error doesn't give any proper indication as to the real root of the problem and despite following all the recommendations and advice and methods I still have the blue screen :( error message.. Any other product that was giving this much grief to people would have been taken off the market or at least TESTED properly BEFORE it was released.. TOO QUICK and FLAWED FLAWED FLAWED... why do the updates threaten to put things off too?.. come on... we paid a lot of money for a machine that doesn't function properly from the first few days we have it... my win XP computer only crashed after 8 years!!!!!! Very very unhappy..

Mine is going back to the shop!!

But, SFC will only find Wndows problems that are due to corrupted files, right?

I am not sure, what else it does.... but yes it does check for corrupted or missing files in Windows system files and it tries to fix them by replacing the older version of the file or if it can not repair then it will let you know that there are some problems that could not be fixed. 

 

Corrupted files in windows can also cause windows crash and slow it down ... so it is a good idea to check once a month if you install unknown programs or surf web alot.

 

For this particular problem, it looks like the problem is caused by windows update... therefore the sensible thing to do is to uninstall any recent updates or use system restore to go back if you know which one caused the problem.

 

Also note that uninstalling updates might fix the problem problem but I personally think is that you have make sure that is not caused by third party software in first place otherwise you will face problems in updating your system later. 

 

Uninstall unused third party programs installed on your new pc, get rid of unused toolbars, any other software like Sonic player on vaio computers, bing toolbar, evernote, etc. if you don't use them why keep them, just get rid of them.   

 

Have a look a this thread, someone found a solution without uninstalling windows update:

And there are loads more, just search in the forum, see which one applies to you?

You make some valid points, but if I were to run SFC and get a 'no corrupted or missing files' result, that clearly does not absolve Windows as the culprit.

I am having the same issue for almost 2 months I have a Toshiba satellite c850d have no clue what causes this and I am very disappointed it keeps happening . this needs a fix

Same machine same problem.  Running Symantec Endpoint.   Knocks the Wi FI off as well after reboot (no wifi available despite other devices still connected to home WI FI)
