So recently I did an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8 pro. The update went smoothly but a few hours afterwards the PC started crashing at random times. The mouse would freeze, then one second later the display would crash and look something like this, although can be different depending on what is on the screen before the crash.
The computer sounds as if nothing has gone wrong, no fans spinning unusually fast or anything. It has been running windows 7 for almost 2 years now with no problems.
Error logs throw up an 'Event 41, Kernal-Power', but I assume that's where I've had to force shutdown by holding power button after the crash.
I've tried updating video/mobo drivers (nvidea geforce 6150SE nforce 430), but the crashes continued.
I'm currently running in safe mode, and there hasn't been a crash yet, although it can sometimes be hours in between crashes.
Thanks!
