Hi, and welcome to Sysnative.

All that was included in your uploaded file was the perfmon report. Please follow all instructions carefully: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions - Windows 8, 7 & Vista

How long have you had TuneUp Utilities installed? First thing I would suggest is a clean install of Windows 8 and not using that software. For one thing, the software is from 2009 and not likely to know anything about tuning up Windows 8, and for another, I do not recommend 3rd party optimization tools for Windows. 3rd party optimization tools often degrade system performance rather than helping it.

Please let us know how things go after a clean install. Follow the steps in the following tutorial when doing the clean install. If you need help activating Windows afterward, let me know.

Backup and Clean Install Windows​

The steps in the above tutorial are for Windows 7/Vista, but they are nearly identical for Windows 8 minus the change in the interface.

I've had it installed since my clean install of Windows 8, as I personally bought it when i had Windows 7.

But I'll uninstall it and see what happens, I do get what you mean as it's not configured to work with Windows 8. Understandable.

I'll have to do a clean install when i have time, but I'll uninstall Tune Up for now and see how it goes.
