    hahaha... ONLY all that stuff...
    Start8 is a system file hack. System file hacks are not meant to be future-proof.
    I don't know what some of those things are, but I'm pretty sure that some of that list could be causing you problems.

    WindowBlinds is even worse and ways more invasive :cool2:. Also i never trusted OC Software, this is done best in BIOS/UEFI :g:.

    It would be a lot more, but I disabled quite a few.

    :)

    I have removed all the other Stardock-Software, maybe I get rid of the rest next time when I re-install my system, which should be soon, as I plan to get some new GPU's.

    Gigabyte OC-Guru-II is for my GPU's (Gigabyte GTX680-SOC-2GB in 2-Way-SLI). GPU-Tweak caused me some issues in the past.

    Which other GPU-OC-Tool would you recommend ? MSI Afterburner ?

    :)

    Had lot of trouble with Stardock at friends systems :cool2:.

    Tested the GIGABYTE OC tool only shortly and went back to Afterburner. Was referring to the ASUS tools :g:.

    I use the Asus AI-Suite-II for certain different things, but also for changing some OC-Profiles on the fly.

    My Base-CPU-OC @4200MHz plus tightened RAM-Timings is done via BIOS, but my actual Max-CPU-OC @4700MHz is done via the Asus-Suite, but with my own Settings, like further increased VCore etc. .

    When I play less demanding Games like Diablo-III: Reaper of Souls my Base-OC is good enough, but for Games like Battlefield-4 etc. or Benchmarks I use my Max-OC.

    It's pretty handy to do it on the fly, as my rig is running 24/7.

    I also use a certain GPU-OC-Profile, which allows me to further OC my Super-OC'ed GTX680's by simple starting the Guru-App, which has my max GPU-OC set as default.

    Will give Afterburner another go, after I did my upgrade.

    Start8 seems to be ok, but I'm not sure about WindowsBlinds.

    :)

    Hmm, I have to check, but I think you can downgrade a core ISO...

    WZor's leak of W8.1+Bing was 9600.17029, which is very close to RTM 17031, wonder if you could simply add the MSU's to make it up-to-date. :p
