win8 A final good bye to Windows

[vcfan]

did it ever occur to you that the problem might be because of a driver, written by the manufacturer of that certain piece of hardware??? maybe its a bug that only happens in your hardware configuration. and you didnt even provide details of what your problem is. maybe it really is you, you're doing something thats messing it all up, but because of your arrogance, it cant be your fault.

go ahead,go to linux. why do people always write these posts like it is some kind of threat? do you want us to beg you to use windows? whats the point of your post really? you even said what you think the outcome is going to be.

Where the Hell did that come from? I have a Technet sub.

Thats illegal. Its for testing only. Some tech net software is not full featured either. Look up technet/ add features windows 8

So why are you blaming windows because you refuse to use retail software?

[Piggy]

Ignore the brand name monster cable recommendation, but get a better RJ45 cable and see if that fixes the issues.

[mrdeezus]

I cant wait for his next thread entitled :" Linux and windows goodbye, im making my own operating system"

[MDboyz]

Since you run Linux on the same hardware w/o any issue, I think the issue maybe with the drivers you have. Also, when the trouble starts, you should look at the Task Manager to see which processes using the most memory and CPU.

No, it absolutely has to be Monster Cable unless you use an Apple Lightning Connector to RJ45 adapter and run it through a dongle.

lol i think we have a loose cannon on our hands. if he snapped with probably a simple problem with windows, image what he'll do if he has to compile a something on linux.

While I think that this is a stupid thread, what in the **** are you talking about?

The only "feature" that you can add to Win 8 is Media Center.

[AngelGraves13]

Sounds like your system has issues.

I've been using the same system for 3+ years now. I've only upgraded the memory and graphics card. Haven't had any blue screens or issues to speak of. Then again, I only install quality components and use software I trust.

You do realize that since running Linux I have not had to compile anything ... other than the few times that I decided I wanted to learn how to do it.

Most things these days either are in the CLICKABLE REPOSITORY or have a CLICKABLE INSTALLER (other than having to put a password in it is just like windows )

I think he's confusing retail and VL images. Different subscriptions have access to different versions.

VL doesn't allow you to add MC.

Not sure what's sadder here, the OP who can't admit that all his "tweaking" of Windows is the real problem or the yahoo who made the retarded claim that Linux caused his hardware to fry, for the record there's nothing you can do in software that could damage hardware, nothing

[skilithead]

Maybe the dingo ate your baby ? :punk:

[majortom1981]

Some people like me are using retail discs with retail keys from tech net yet there is no add features for the media center key.

All people have to do is look on the technet forums

What about a bad bios flash from inside windows?

Get a Monster Cable brand Ethernet cable and all your problems will go away. I had the same problem with an AMD chip using standard ethernet cable. It has something to do with the positrons hitting the bus at too high a rate getting conjamburated by the AMD's processing method that concatenates the data and ends up freezing under Windows because of the things.

I love you

I also know by posting this, the fanboys are going to come out and bash the **** out of me.

This forum doesn't need more flamewars. Why do you willingly spawn one? Your post has no content that can be discussed objectively. Why is this kind of thread not closed right away, I'll never know.

Then it's not retail Pro.

MSDN has the same retail Pro and features can be added.

Now several people have VLK licenses and those do not have the ability to do MC.

You'll be back to Windows sooner or later. :p

[aviator189]

I'm sure you're either lying or doing something completely wrong.

I bought all my machines from tigerdirect and bb and they all work fine. Just one crash on one of them in 2 years.

Just another ill informed computer user. . .this must be one of those average joes that has no idea what a computer is. . . :rolleyes:

Is there a real purpose why you are here whining.

However frustrated you are, try this. After all, what do you have to lose?

1. Set your BIOS to "BIOS Defaults", rather than "Performance Defaults".

2. Wipe your primary HDD.

3. Install Windows.

4. Do NOT install ANY third party software whatever.

5. Go to the Device Manager and check your ethernet adapter to see if it is functional.

6. If it is, enable automatic updates.

7. If it isn't, install the driver that came with your system, or go to another PC and download it from the manufacturer's site.

8. Once you have Internet access, restart your computer.

9. Leave the computer running like this for about 2 days (or about as long as you previously did until it started giving errors).

If after this period, you do not run into problems, install your other software one by one, with some normal usage between each install. This will help you pinpoint the cause of your problems.

This is all I can do to help, without being there.

I guess you were born with all your IT knowledge.

What a crass attitude.

I won't comment too much...but evidently you haven't seen some of the prior threads by the OP. I'll say nicely (and Lakota please don't take this as an attack, I'm commenting so that this particular poster can understand) that there is a certain resistance to trying troubleshooting and in taking advice as it is offered.

Now this situation has gotten somewhat better, and I wish Lakota lived nearby since I'd love to look at that PC and see just what in the heck is going on.

Linux is a neverending problem of things breaking. Good luck because you will need it.

I understand.

I haven't read to many of his prior posts, but I was just trying to help.
