Makes sense, thanks for the info mate! Shall I mark the thread as solved and create a new one if the issue persists? Since it doesn't happen very often so it might take a while till I see if it's solved.

I uninstalled Easy Tune and On/Off Charge, so the only one not present is Easy Saver. Will post here after I see how it goes. Thanks again for your help mate, I'm usually sort of paranoid with these sort of things and end up reinstalling Windows all-together. Good to know I can solve it step by...

Thank you so much for your reply usasma! I'm uninstalling the drivers you mentioned now. What do you mean about updating bitdefender to W8 version? The TotalSecurity 2015 version is compatible with W8 and 8.1 according to their website. EDIT: I couldn't find EasySaver (gdrv.sys) in add or...

Thanks for the reply! You're referring to driver conflicts if I upgrade from W7 to W8 from the same installation, as opposed to just installing W8 directly, correct? I am not entirely familiar with the concept of a virtual machine as I am by no means an expert and haven't used Windows in...

First of all a warm greeting to everyone around, as I've just finished creating my account and joining the community! As the title states, I have an issue I am not able to clear up for myself and couldn't (seemingly) find anything related on Google on the subject. I've just finished building...
