I upgraded to Windows 8 on 11/18 and started having problems where explorer.exe is restarting every minute or so. Here is the error from the event log:

I worked with Microsoft Tech Support for 4 days and ended up doing a clean install of Windows 8. I had been told by Microsoft that they would escalate me to Tier 2, but they called back and said it was an HP/Hardware issue and I would have to work with them. Chatted with HP, they said it was an OS issue.

Anyone have any thoughts?
