Windows 8.1 BSOD after installation of VC Redist 2005

[alees90]

Hello everybody. I'have been gettin this super frustrating issue with my PC.
I have decided to do clean install of my OS. It used to be W 10, after the free upgrade, but I had to downgrade to Windows 8.1, since it is the only one I bought and have installation DVD at home.
After the clean installation, I have done autoupdate followed by downloading of ATI drivers etc. It began after the reboot. BSOD with Kernel Security Check Failed. It was followed by this screen.

I was clueless and had to do another OS install. After that, I removed autoupdate feature and tried to install drivers one by one. It seemed, that grephic drivers were causing the problems, because there was originally set up some Microsoft graphic driver as default device. Same with sound drivers. I uninstalled both and replaced them with proper drivers. So I managed to install graphics drivers and sound drivers at once, but as soon as I try to install VC redist 2005 I get BSOD with KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILED with this stupid smiley face and countdown till reboot.....which is the strangest thing I have seen. I can't really play any games and this computer seems to be worthless at its current state.

Can please anybody help me? Thanks

Alex

Which components are you using?

Chipset and system drivers up to date?

Have a look at your device manager of windows. Any question or exclamation marks?

Hi. My components are:
CPU: AMD FX 9370
GPU: AMD R290x 4gb
16GB ram
SSD 120 gb
HDD 1TB

No exclamation marks or question marks directly next to icons of components.

Also, in device manager, under Service control manager, it shows Error Critical errror 41: Kernel-Power.

I can't find out which model of MOBA I have.. It is gigabyte, but idk which one exactly. It doesn't show in Device manager

have a look at CPU-Z, this tool can show the MOBO´s model and BIOS version as well

install AMD.com drivers for your system (GPU and chipset drivers)

which power supply are you using? have a look inside your case, the model should be labeled on it

Soo... Every single one of my components run just fine. So I tried to get rid of the W 8.1 and tried to upgrade to W 10 again. It worked, I was able to upgrade, I have all Visuals installed, all drivers run perfectly and there is no more BSOD...
Maybe support of 8.1 changed and is downloading some faulty drivers for my HW.. Anyway, problem kinda solved. Don't install W 8 or 8.1
