My Regrets Buying A Window 8 System by Nobody: 8:50pm On Dec 16, 2014

1ST....Blue Screen Of Death...This occurs when am busy with 2 or more programs or insert a usb and working with it over 5mins...it hangs with a blue screen and restarts...
2nd....Mouse cursor hanging...I dont know wat causes it buh d cursor just stays *pako*.
3rd....Irregular hotness of Tha System which will cook life chicken
4th.....Oversabi of programs ...and at the end na network hanging
5th....Itz just lyk may i naq am for wall...

It's also depends more on the hardware. I'm using Windows 8 with Samsung series 3 notebook, 4g/750g hdd and core i5 and I'm enjoying it to the full.
My advice is, check your hardware, they are definitely fault in your hardware as you are experiencing blue screen

Exactly I have never had a case of blue screen on any of my 3 windows 8.1 devices, it's a far more superior operating system to windows 7. No comparison

Seriously? Window 8.x is much better than windows 7 light years better, it's either your hardware is messed up, you've installed some crap program or you've inadvertently introduced some malware into your system. Find out what's wrong with your PC before blabbing, but if one thing I can assure of it that Windows 8 is not the problem.

Simmer down bro...it quiet well known that windows 8 is an unstable OS, but have u tried upgrading to windows 8.1(the final job). move to windows 8.1, upgrade from store and i bet ur stories and hate about windows 8+ environment wont be the same.
Moreover, so many things might lead to u having the BSOD on ur PC. Harddrive,Getting stuuffs over loaded, Drivers, ect....
so my candid is u try upgrading, and i will be willing to hear ur testimonies.... smiley smiley

i am very sure you are using an illegal activation for that windows 8, If you don't have genuine activation that computer can never be stable, because most cracks contain malwares trying to block the activation technology then when you perform windows update the whole system turns upside down, and it slows
..
And your computer hardware is not also meeting up with the requirements of windows 8 as for the mouse issue its an hardware fault

it depends mostly on your computer features.some computer can not maintain good speed with windows 8 even if it was installed.you can simply downgrade if it was not made for win8 or better still upgrade to 8.1.downgrading is not advisable especially if the computer came with wind 8

My daughter's Dell E7420 came pre-installed with Windows 8, I downgraded to Windows 7, no issues at all.
Personal computers usually have upgrade and downgrade rights, and if it falls within that scope, the personal computer would operate flawlessly !!!

guy from my own experience, I implore you to check your RAM. Do a hardware diagnostic test.
