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:

Wish u a Happy New Year!

    I reformatted and kept it on Windows 8 (not 8.1) and now so far so good?

    Have you all tried the worst case scenario of doing a full restore to factor settings?
