Anyone but me here having probs with Windows 8?
Random errors and shutdowns, some games not working properly and downloads not properly downloading??

I only downloaded recently so haven't have an Windows Update. And I am using the release 64 bit version found on Windows store. I am using an Ivy i5.

I did it all over again lol so I hope it might have fixed it, if not where can I find the Windows Update. Is that a program I need to find from google / windows or does it come with the OS?

The one big problem with windows 8 it that there is no longer "search" in start -.-
And it takes a while to find control panel. Hang on let em see if their are updates.

EDIT: **** its happening again. I cant even access my computer.

I know its still in Beta but I would have hoped for an OS that worked...

That is now my main problem.

No overclocks:

Ivy i5 3570K
UD3H Z77 mobo
Coolermaster Silent Pro 500W PSU
MSI 6850 OC
Seagate 500GB HDD
9GB Adata RAM

I'm not really sure what you mean by stable :/
Since I've only run it on W8.

Already run Memtest and that showed up fine

I'm a few clicks of a button away from ordering Windows 7 if you think that is a good idea?

What software would you suggest?

Guys how do I test my hard drive? Do I download something and run it from the PC, do I need to burn a file, if so how.
