Computer crash while installing sdk emulators 8.1 windows phone - windows-phone

I tried many times to install windows phone sdk emulators 8.1, and it starts normally and at the end of installation my PC crashes. After I push the reset button the visual studio installation starts again and again my pc crashes....
I tried different links to download happens the same thing.
I tried to install the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and when starts to install the emulators the pc crashes again.
I have AMD FX 8350 8-core -64bit (4.2 GHz)
RAM 8 GB
Graphic Card AMD HD 6570 (latest drivers install)
OS Windows 8.1 Pro
I have installed the Visual Studio Express 2013.
Is this a problem from my pc specifications?

I don't think so there is a problem in your pc specification,but I will suggest you download web installer from dev.windowsphone.com and install the software,if it still crashes contact visual studio support.

Windows Phone development tools

I have installed vs-2013 and install Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 RC Windows Phone 8.1 development using this link https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk and after that I want to install sdk 8.0 using the above link but it gets me error below:
This Product can only be installed on Windows 8 or later 64-bit Machine.
But I have already installed windows 8
Kindle suggest me, waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
The download suggests the requirement for Windows 8 (x64) as does the Introducing Windows Phone SDK 8.0 blog. See: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42307 (Expand System Requirements) and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/10/30/introducing-windows-phone-sdk-8-0.aspx

Can't deploy Windows 8.1 application to Window 8 device

I am working on Windows 8.1 application and i have a device with Windows 8 OS. It seems many 8.1 applications can install in Windows 8 device from the store with a warning that "It will work better with Windows 8.1' .It is showing some error with certification When i try to deploy my Windows 8.1 app to the Windows 8 device . So want to know that is it possible to install Windows 8.1 app in Windows 8 machine? Must i upgrade the device OS to Window 8.1 before deploying ? What i need to deploy Windows 8.1 application in Windows 8 device?
Using Visual Studio 2013 in Windows 8.1 you can develop apps for two platform versions:
Windows 8
Windows 8.1
Apps targeted for Windows 8 will run in both, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Apps targeted for Windows 8.1 will only run in Windows 8.1
You can find the target platform version of your app by right clicking in the app project and then clicking in Application tab. There you will find the Target Platform Version.
When an app is published in the Windows Store, developers have the option to upload two packages, one for each platform version. It is almost sure that the Windows 8.1 version will be better than the Windows 8 version, since the APIs for 8.1 are better :)

No "Hyper-V" in Win Features to install after installing VS2013 Preview

On a Windows 8 machine with VS Express 2010, VS 2012, I've installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Preview.
In the end of the installation, an error message appears, giving me this link to activate Hyper-V.
So i entered BIOS, I found a similar option for enabling Virtualization, and set it to Enable.
After finishing restart, I downloaded coreinfo.exe, opened the console as Admin, and checked for asterisk in the row where it said I should check. So there was, which means my computer supports SLAT.
When I go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Windows Features on/off, there is no Hyper-V there as is shown in the link that there will be, and I should select it and press OK to install/activate it.
Will this be fixed by reinstalling Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Preview now?
Make sure you are running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit as the Hyper-V feature is a Pro Edition feature.

VS2012, Window Phone 8 Compilation Issues

I am trying to compile a Windows Phone 8 app on Visual studio 2012 but I keep getting an error stating that I need a 64bit machine running Windows 8 pro... but I have a 64bit machine running Windows 8.
Is there a Windows 8 Pro? There is only an Win8 Pro (Upgrade) and from the MSDN Downloads there are only Win8 and Win8 Enterprise.

You need a Win8 Pro or Enterprise for Hyper-V roles. Your machine looks to be a Win8 basic edition.

How to install VS2012 for windows phone in my x86 OS? How to convert Windows 8 pro from x86 to x64?

I downloaded a x86 windows pro version and installed in my system. The mistake which i did is my system supports x64 but by mistake took a msdn x86 version of Windows 8 pro.
Because of installing x86 os i am not able to install visual studio 2012 for windows phone. It throws an error stating that ur system is x86.
It would be of great help if u can give solutions for this.
You will have to uninstall the x86 Windows 8, and install the x64 version to fix that sort of error.
