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:

    None of these suggestions worked.  I bit the bullet pulled the drive put it in a USB caddy made an image of it with acronis true image then put it back in the system it came from formatted it and reinstalled Windows 8pro 64.  Bought this system in January.  Windows 7 had no problems on this system in 10+ months.  Windows 8 now on its third install on the same hardware.  If this keeps up I'm going back to win 7 or buying an imac.  Microsoft has been useless to me in these forums and via phone support.
