Would this also affect a 5-6 year old Samsung monitor? I'm in Windows 8 and I'm having a horrible time with my home built desktop. Sometimes the monitor doesn't wake as I have it set to shut off after 10 min. The only fix I know is to press the reset button. I've had 2-3 crashes this week since updating to AMD's latest 13.9 driver to play the still unstable Battlefield 4. I don't even have Intel's graphics drivers installed for my i5-4670K.

Innerpeace honestly I don't know, what I've posted was specific to Samsung's latest notebooks (Samsung series 7 chronos and maybe series 9) which have the AMD Radeon HD 8800M series. For the record the latest beta is 13.11

I would prefer a clean install rather then 3 hours for an upgrade that might or might not work.

Except to remove key, you have to use command: "slmgr /cpky" then (not sure if needed) "slmgr /rearm" and finally enter your Windows 8 cd key and activate.

3hours for an upgrade is your processor a mouse
