    its a serious error

    it indicates a hardware problem, but can be caused by a bad driver.

    the three obvious things to check are:-

    1 do a ram test, most BIOS's include one, or the windows bios utility will.

    2 do a diskchk, this is important as many bios's have isuues with specific hard drive models

    ..that are usually cured by firmware patches...see your mobo makers updates.

    ...please not that many mobo's can only be updated by the original opsys sold

    ...with the unit.

    3 update or change your video driver. This is by far the greatest cause of BSOD's

    ..if its ever been changed, then step back to the very first version when you installed 8

    hope thats all clear and that it helps.

    Either go back to windows 7 or install Ubuntu. Windows 8 is painful.
