Hi all, I'd like to start overclocking my system but I can't with this stability issue. I crash returning from sleep mode without fail. No blue screen just a hard hang up about 30 seconds, then black screen auto reboot. Using whocrashedme it appears to be exclusively 0xD1 bugs "probably cause by" ntoskrnl.exe and the most recent one today being by ntkrnlmp.exe. I've seen other threads about Win 8.1 crashing from return to sleep but without resolve. Please help?

I was having this issue when I finished my new build around Christmas time. A lot of people attribute this problem to the "Fast Startup" mode. This is the link I found on google that fixed my problem. Just follow the instructions.

I hope this helps you and I hope that my posting that link is okay on these forums.

I know this says for shutdown/restart issues, but the problem lies within this new feature. It certainly fixed my shut down problems and resuming from "Away Mode" problems.

okay upon searching the microsoft forums there might be a hotfix but it says it applies to windows 8. From what I've gathered there are no major differences from 8 to 8.1 as far as software and coding.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2866485

This is the hotfix that microsoft has for it. Just make sure you read it thoroughly before you download it because I do not know your full system specs. This hotfix is specifically for certain bios settings that may or may not be on, and intel based x64 chipsets on top of that.

It also lists a work around which you might try before you apply the hotfix, if you aren't sure about it.

I decided last night to roll back to Windows 8 and the problem is gone. I don't think I'll reupdate to 8.1 after that mess.

Reinstalling W8 fixed it? I read a lot of other forums where even this didnt "fix" it, after some time. To me this is not acceptable. Why don't we hear a proper solution from the makers? W8 worked good, W8.1 doesn't. I'm struggling with this for a couple of months now and I think this is ridiculous. I tried ALL the "solutions". I'll let you know when I found something, I'll keep on searching.

It was my wireless adapter. TP link never made a driver for 8.1. Setting the power options to not turn it off to save power made it more reliable but Ive since switched to a different adapter model.

You would have to check for memory problems, conduct several memory tests, and then if any problems are found there might be a need to replace your Random Access Memory (RAM).
