    Go back to the PC manufacturer's website for the RST drivers. Also let us know what date they are.

    Jim,

    Likely cus the Update is from before 8 arrived on the scene. As long as it's the latest, should be ok... 8 likes most everything 7 likes.

    I would advise you run Check Disc (CHKDSK /r) and run sfc /scannow; use cmd, Run as Admin.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Jim,

    1st, going back a bit, yes, you should try MSI.

    From my experience, it sounds suspiciously like a firmware/BIOS issue. Get MSI to confirm that you have the right one or the latest one. I've seen it where a M/B fresh out of the box, brand new, isn't up to date by the time it's purchased.

    Yep, I'm sure.

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Jim,

    If you can't come to a determination w/in the MSI web site, they should have a toll free # for a Help Desk.

    Re: Random short freezes Windows 8

    Hi guys, i'm happy to tell you that i have'nt had the freeze stutter for about 2 days now. I updated my bios to the latest but got a bootmgr error message when booting so i re-installed my Windows and formated all my discs. I will try it out for a couple days more and tell you if it appears again. Thanks for the awesome help.

    And there it was, damn. What's next guys?

    Tried to change from ide to AHCI mode in bios and got a blue screen, what's up with this?

    This is so annoying, should i get a new motherboard to fix the problem that way or do you think this is caused by my ssd?

    Jim,

    I do not feel it's the SSD. I am running SSD w/ no problem(s). BUT, I did have to R&R a brand new M/B due to firmware issues....

    Personally, I would, indeed, suggest you do the same.

    Cheers,
