Random explorer.exe crash when I'm using Windows 8 Style Apps on SAMSUNG XQ700T

Hi

I bought Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro just 2 days ago in S.Korea.

Everything looks fine, but the only problem is that when I use several Windows 8 style Apps, "explorer.exe" crashes occur randomly.

There are also crashes when I just handle Windows 8 style UI even I don't use Windows 8 style apps, such as just touching some buttons on Charm bar.

It does not happen when I use x86 or x64 desktop mode apps.

Anyway, So I decided re-installing Windows 8 x64(Samsung OEM version) to Windows 8 Pro x64(TechNet version).

After then same problem have been occurring, re-installing wasn't solution of this problem.

I'm a system security developer, so I'm using several critical apps that can affect to OS, like Ollydbg, WinDbg, IDA, Process Monitor, Process Hacker and several apps that are related to reverse engineering.

I already took a look at if there were suspicious module which can make crash in explorer.exe , but there weren't.

And I also tried to test System stability test by using AIDA64 stressing CPU,FPU,RAM and GPU for 20 minutes.

But it looks that there is no problem.

So my conclusion is that Windows 8 style UI is still unstable.

Anyone has same problem?

Thanks for reading.

ps. UAC is turned ON, Using Windows Live account, ALREADY installed all of latest Windows updates from Nov 18. 2012
