Issue with Sis's PC from March experiencing HYPERVISOR_ERROR BSoD and poor login performance even in safe mode.
Issue with Sis's PC from March experiencing HYPERVISOR_ERROR BSoD and poor login performance even in safe mode.
I've checked various solutions and each attempt either failed or was already implemented. For instance:
Told to enable NX; it was already active in BIOS. Restoring the system became necessary when I switched it off, leading to a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG BSoD.
Updated BIOS only made the situation worse.
Removed and reinstalled hypervisor drivers in safe mode. In that state, the system would simply display a black screen and restart after a short time.
Performed a factory reset, but it immediately triggered a BSoD with the HYPERVISOR_ERROR code, preventing any further progress.
Other considerations: My sister isn't very tech-savvy, so she hasn't attempted overclocking. She's not interested and doesn't know how to proceed.
I've tried numerous methods, but none succeeded. The most plausible explanation is corrupted drivers, though I can't access the system to fix it.
EDIT: Realized I was overlooking something.
Another idea.
If sis doesn't use this kind of hyper text and you can get into the machine for a few minutes, type...features...in the search box and click on turn features off/on.
Scan down the list and turn off the hyper stuff.
Reboot and check if it makes a difference.
I can't remain in place long enough to run memtest86. We're not receiving a BSoD with HYPERVISOR_ERROR anymore; it's just restarting. Black screen, boot screen, log on, black screen, boot screen, log on, black screen, the pattern continues. She even took extra steps to purchase a GPU because we thought it might be a hardware problem and her PC was showing symptoms similar to what I experienced when I had a faulty GPU. Now I feel responsible for suggesting she might have a GPU issue, which led her to spend $700 on a replacement.
When it occurred, I noticed the motherboard's VGA and BOOT lights turned red during the crash. Even after replacing the displayport with a different HDMI cable, the problem persists. So I'm still unsure what's causing it.
Edit: We're also struggling to install the new GPU drivers because we can't stay on without them crashing. I removed the old drivers safely, but the issue remains, so it can't be the GPU either.
Edit 2: Another point I overlooked is that we successfully reset Windows, but she insisted on keeping her files and settings intact. Windows was restored to its original state with her old data.
Press the boot button and wait for it to start... does it stop?
If it doesn’t, try booting memtest86... does it fail?
Reset the BIOS back to its standard setting. Check if it remains active within the BIOS settings. Confirm that problems are limited to starting Windows.
