It happens even without drivers... I tried only with AMD 8.1 display driver and freeze.... I'm trying to download another ISO... I remember that Windows 8 (pro) used to freeze too, out of nowhere... But with less frequency then 8.1 is freezing... Weird...
I have the same laptop with Win 8 pro installed and have never had an issue with the OS. I have not used the laptop in a while because I have the infamous faulty power charger port and got a Surface Pro. Later today when I have the time I am going to format and install Win 8.1 on it and let you know how it works.
Three times already. Happened when I had some bootable USBs plugged in. It appeared then **click** my tower logo no longer glows white anymore. Not sure why it happens... only with 8.1 for me, too.
Yeah, it seems this bug is network specific. It was the same way in 8.0 until they fixed it too. Just annoying that 8.1 unfixes it for me. Also, having trouble with this forum's quick reply box in IE11 (Metro). Keypresses constantly drop out.
I had some limited connectivity issue on my laptop. Wasn't sure why at the time (had an internet connection). Restarted the router and all was well again though.
Still cannot figure out the Bluetooth problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, Firefox sometimes does not display things correctly. My drivers are all up to date.
Internet Explorer 11 renders text differently when using the X-UA-Compatible meta tag, depending on whether the webpage is loaded locally or from a remote webserver. Essentially it works fine on a local file, but seems not to be recognised or applied when the same page is viewed online. Also right-clicking a webpage and trying to view the source often doesn't work...
Another ISO will not make a difference. When you're saying that it happens even without drivers - did you try WITH drivers? I don't think that this is the fault of the ATI/AMD. Especially if you're using an Intel Chipset, you could try to download the latest on station-drivers.com and extract it and start the setup.exe with the -overall switch. Not the infinst_auto.exe Windows 8 and upwards are using a different driver deposit (newer) than Windows 7 on a fresh install which can (probably in your case) lead to problems. And be sure that your BIOS is updated.
Pompt & PowerShell can't access to maped network drives. Windows 8.0 support this feature. It's f*cking serious bug.
same problem for me! it's freezing randomly (with an old notebook)... after a bios update and after: bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes it's much better but still freezing...don't know why, all drivers are correctly installed
Why same command works on Windows 7 and Windows 8.0? What and why is necessary writing longer command on Windows 8.1?
disabledynamictick should not make a difference anymore because the issue got fixed by an hotfix a long while ago. Which notebook? Which drivers do you have installed manually? Does that happen on a fresh install, without any drivers, too?
