Updated to 8.1 on my laptop, but it brought back a graphics card issue that HP never bothered to fix. Tried to restore but the partition is corrupted, so I am trying to figure out what to do next. It's especially frustrating as I use this for work.

I also had a driver issue after the update (audio driver). I seem to lose sound after each reboot and have to reinstall the drivers. I may have fixed it...we shall see.#birdsarentreal

Everything seems fine with the HDD, memory, etc. I probably just need to wipe the drive and order recovery discs.
Would getting a new HDD and just doing a completely fresh windows 8 install work, or would things not work correctly since I wouldn't use the HP oem discs?2015 AAL - Ezekiel "Double Digit Sacks" Ansah.

8 Performance, Stability, overhead, flexibility, is way beyond Win 7. But it has Modern UI and supposedly that it bad, so of course the whole OS sucks.

A lot of people may not realize this but 8 resource requirements are so low that Windows RT is just a recompile of Windows 8 for ARM. Let that sink in for a second Windows 8 is so gentle on hardware that they could run it with minimal changes on an ARM CPU.
People are cutting off their nose to spite their face over learning a new interface that really has just as many pluses as it has minus's and is ridiculously easy to get used to if you are actually willing to try. On top of that Windows 8.1 doesn't make things worse to those who have issues with Modern, it makes it better.

Dammit - the bulb just went out on my 60" rear projection LCD HDTV today, and the next choice for watching the Lions / Cowboys in my house is a 19" tube TV.
I'm sure there's no place I can find one in Petoskey on a Sunday morning, but I'm checking...The only thing missing from that Marvin Jones touchdown reversal is that it wasn't a first round playoff game.
