HI everyone,
Having a major issue since installing win 8 pro on my main desktop as an upgrade from win 7 home premium (i chose keep files and settings options)
The computer is unstable to the point of being almost unusable :( Issues im having:
1. Doesnt boot up consistently. About 50% of the time it gives me an error on startup (on a blue screen) saying windows cant start up and that i need to repair installation. I tried this with the install media, but it says cannot repair. Whats really baffling is that about half the times i start up, it boots me into the desktop without any problem !!!
2. Hanging every 15-20 minutes of use. Again about half the times it gives me a bsod saying critical_process_died without mentioning what exactly died and about half of the time it just straight up windows95 style (as in screen frozen nothing clickable) hangs on me and i have to do hard restart. I do get the error code i mentioned in the title sometimes when it bsod's on me sometimes.
Please help me if you can!!! - also it says windows defender disbaled on my tsg log but it is on for sure. Im at my wits end :confused::mad: ive tried upgrading the video card drivers, motherboard chipset and utility drivers and software, all to no avail.Windows is, of course, up to date.
Windows is installed on its own C drive which is a 64gig flash drive.Regular setup, no raid or anything fancy.
