I am confused about my problem because I downloaded windows 8.1 like 7 months ago and this problem with my computer crashing started like 2 weeks ago and to the best of my knowledge I haven't changed anything.
the most recent version of the NXP thing is 6.3.1.0
I have 6.1.1.0
it says to do prior to windows 8.1 update, so what do I do? can I install it even though I have 8.1 already?
i also dont have the most recent Intel Management Engine interface, but that also says to install prior to 8.1
Sorry about the delay. The instructions say, both the INTEL Management Engine interfaceupdate and the NearFieldProximity Provider should be applied before the upgrade to Windows 8.1.
There is no way for me to tell if they were, and have become corrupted or if they weren't, and the ones that came originally shipped with the have become corrupted.
You can ask in the sony forums, about what your options are, but if I were to guess, I would say that you are looking at a refresh and rollback to win 8, and then update to 8.1 after the installation of the two drivers in question.
