Alright, I installed Windows 8 in January. Right after installation I went to the Nvidia website and got a Driver for my Asus Geforce 550 Ti. This caused my computer to have a missing boot manager on boot up. To bypass that, I had to unplug my Storage
drive (my 1tb drive) so just my SSD and OS were up. When I did that I was able to boot past the Win 8 loading screen, to a black Flashing screen, no lock screen, just a flashing mouse, and nothing else.
Come to find out that this Driver, which supposedly is Win 8 compatable (64 Bit, I did this a few times, made sure I got the right 1) is incompatable and will not let you do sht on your pc. I had to restore and start over each time.
What I was able to do, was just run Windows 8 Update and it installed drivers and all that stuff, so my Nvidia was working perfect. no problems.
Windows just put that driver from Nvidia in there optional Updates, causes the same problem. Luckily I set a restore point before testing the update. Just restored, but That update will mess up anyones PC who has the 550 Ti card, using windows 8.
I don't know how to report it to windows, but yea, they are dishing out a driver that will crash pcs lol.
