Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

Hope the information helps.

Please reply with the results, in order to help you fix the issue.

Wish u a Happy New Year!

Thank you

    It hasn't been fixed yet.  They want Best Buy to handle it.   Keeps the economy moving, and someone will buy windows 9 before the end of this year, just like they through away their iPhones every six months.  You don't think MS and the Bilderbergers don't know these facts?

    Your post fixed my issues, which are the same as everyone elses here.  It was both memory, (hardware), and software Microsoft OS 7 & 8, and bad Corsair EXPENSIVE memory swap.  Leave all hardware alone in these OS's.  And don't look forward to the rushed out Win9 To fix anything!

    This seems to be the most useful post so far. But for someone who has just windows 8 installed, how exactly can this be applied?

    See the next page of posting if you want the best answer, and the hardware and OS solution.  I am even a moderately skilled user and could figure it out, while Microsoft can't?  Give me a break!
