[Fixed] Windows 8.1

I had the same problem after updating to 8.1 and no one could solve this. Google showed me lots of forums talking about that error and how it could mean anything. So I became really desperate. I then found this site, downloaded the drivers for my graphic card and suddenly it worked again. Apparently the 8.1 update didn't give me the right drivers or it didn't install them right. But I don't know if that will work in your case. Some people said blowing into their computers helped, some just had to reinstall their games, etc... This is what worked for me.

EDIT: My graphic cards are AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series and Intel® HD Graphics 4000. And oh, you solved it.
