Honestly I have no idea if I am using windows 8 or 8.1... how do I check?Thanks again. I updated my Asus driver as well, and my Asus seems to be running fast since the Windows went ballistic... maybe that afternoon of headache was worth it in the end
Your Welcome !! Why and are you still running Windows 8 not Windows 8.1, if so should update soon. Make a manual restore point now.
Monitor it for a few days, keep this unsolved in case it happens again.
Either right click Start button select System will say it there. At run command type msinfo32.
