WTf is wrong with Windows 8. WORST SHIT EVER.
TL:DR
>laptop crash and go into 'automatic repair loop'
>'refresh' and 'reset' laptop. No change.
>open cmd do: bootrec /fixMB, Rbootrec /Fixboot and bootrec /rebuildBCD. All good
>do chkdsk /r c: takes 48 hours and only at 20%... wtf.
>now I get Error code: 0xc00000f I have to boot with windows 8 repair disc/usb
>make windows 8 repair shit with "media creation tool" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
>put into laptop and set to USB boot = loads a bit and just blank screen.
How fucked is my laptop? Or is it my harddrive?
Should I sue windows for fucking up my laptop?

Upgrade to 10 you ass bandit. Windows 8 was like an alpha test launched for the completion of 10.
P.S. Fuck Google and their stupid Captcha. Fuck you Google scum.
>>51631133
I quite like 8.1
I upgraded to 10 on my desktop and kept 8.1 on my laptop and still prefer 8.1
>>51631156
>Fuck you Google scum.
>Upgrade to 10
u meke-a me sad
also to be fair i doubt many people are searching "windows 8 is great". i know the only time i search "something is...." it's always negative.
>>51631133
Also if your computer fails to boot to a live usb that probably is more than a software issue, if you think its windows 8 try live booting a Linux flavour

I don't use any Google products. Firefox and Outlook FTW.
>>51631218
Firefox always fucking crashes way to often, I switched from chrome to firefox since I didn't like the way Google was handling my data but man I miss chrome. 15+ tabs and its bound to crash. The crash isn't isolated to one tab so the whole browser crashes.
Honestly Firefox blows
>>51631248
What is this crash you speak of. I hear so many dank memes on /g/ about this and that software being bad. When I actually test it on my system, it works flawlessly. Either I am the luckiest mother fucker on the planet or you people don't know shit about maintaining computers.
>>51631218
eh, i hate em too believe me. i was pointing out, not so clearly, how windows 10 is just as malignant a cancer as google
>>51631272
It happens usually on videos or when using plugins or java
At least from my experience
It's pretty stable until my tabs hit a larger amount
It's not that it crashes every hour but maybe 3-5 crashes a week which is much more than whe I used chrome.
I lime to think I keep my system healthy but I can't stand by that.

Sorry for the typos I'm not the best at typing on a phone.
It's your RAM.
>>51631310
The problem is with add-ons and the devs who are lazy and incompetent bastard. Using Firefox with uBlock origin, Flash 19, Microsft Office integration and whatnot, I have never experienced it devouring my ram or crashing even with 40+ tabs open.
I have 4GB ram and FF only takes like 1gb at max with 40+ tabs.
>>51631133
1. Go on another computer and download hirens,
2. Make a bootable usb or burn to disc.
3. Run HDD test and ram test.
4.????
5. Profit
>>51631248
It seems like every time I use Firefox it has an update, so fucking annoying.
>>51631133
Upgrade to 8.1 or 10, or simply go back to 7.
>>51631133
8.1 is the best system Ms ever shat and 10 is literally a downgrade.
>>51631342
OP here,
cheers bro. Will try. IF it is a hdd problem - ca I save my laptop by buying and inserting a new hdd?
>>51631337
Weird I'm not sure why it crashes for me to be honest... I've just noticed I didn't run into as many with chrome/it was not as annoying per say since most the time if a single tab crashes it won't crash the browser
I have 16gb of ram here but its not all the same company one is no name and the other adata 1333 oc to 1600
>>51631385
What I can't understand is how people stay on 7... Yikes
>>51631571
Seconded.
I don't even remember anymore.
Does 7 even allows moving windows and setting them to occupy half the screen?
It's been so long I don't even remember.
>>51631721
Yea you can on 7 what I don't think i could get used to is not having the right click menu where the start button is
Also windows 8+ boots easily 2-3 times faster on ssd since its optimized for it
I wouldnt be surprised that anyone thinking ssds are a meme are on windows 7
>>51631751
Oh, you're right. Right click/win+x is god tier.
>>51631342
OP here:
doesn't work :(
>>51631133
8.1 Upgrade 1 is fantastic
Stop bitching around
>GENERALLY FUCKING LAGGY PIECE OF SHIT WITH FUCKING SHIT COMPATIBILITY SO I CANT ACCESS MY SHEEPSHAVER VM AND I CANT FUCKING PLAY MY OLD ASS DINOSAUR VIDYA AND FUCKING NEBULA (god tier neo geo emulator) CRASHES ON FULLSCREEN FUCK SHIT DICK NIGGER
TL;DR im stuck with this fucking piece of shit bc im too afraid to switch to linux because last time i did it fucked itself in the ass
>>51636107
That fucking image oh my god.
>>51631248
I don't get this maymay. When I watched porn I'd have 40 tabs open with absolutely no lag.
>>51634133

I would have voted for "op is a retard" if there was the option.
On Windows 8.1 when I press Windows + E to open a windows explorer, my computer briefly flashes to the app/tablet screen or whatever it is, then jumps back to the desktop, and then opens the explorer.
Is this normal?
