I installed Windows 8.1 a month or two ago. I can't say I like the general look of it but it seems reliable enough. However....
About 4 times each day, my hard drive will 'stall' very briefly (as if the power's been removed) and then immediately start up again a fraction of a second later. When this happens I don't see any disturbance on my screen but it's almost as if a power save feature was about to kick in but then changed its mind. I tried disabling all power save functionality but that didn't make a difference. In any case, it usually happens when I'm using the computer so I wouldn't have thought it was a power save issue.
I can multi-boot my PC with both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Neither of them exhibits this problem. It only happens with my newly installed Win8.1.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
