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.
