Hi there. This seems like a really cool and helpful forum so I'll give it a try!
I've got a new computer, bought from a known website that builds computers about a week ago. This computer is running with windows 8 64bit. I've called their support, and they are telling me they can't help me on the phone, which means I have to send it to them, but I do not want to do that unless it's completely necessary. (I really don't want to be without a computer for weeks). Before I begin I want to make it clear that I have a very limited amount of knowledge of computers, so I might miss some information.
The problem is since I've got the computer it has been running into problems causing windows to stop running, causing blue screens. All the information i've gathered is pointing to driver fault. These blue screens almost always happen when I install a new driver. Some drivers can be installed, for instance the newest Nvidia 680 graphic card driver, others, such as logitech headset drivers causes windows to blue screen upon installation. Same thing goes with windows update, when I let this install new updates windows blue screens, which is why I've disabled it for now.
The crashes have not always been the same either. Sometimes its possible to just restart the computer, sometimes I've been forced to do a complete reinstallation of windows because after the boot menu the screen starts to "blink", in two different shades of black.
Here are two different messages I managed to write down before the computer restarted when windows gave me an error that said that windows had encountered a major problem:
Driver_page_Fault_In_Freed_Special_Pool Win32k.(sys? I think it was .sys). And:
Driver_Verifier_Iomanager_Violation (HIDCLASS.sys) shbecr.sys
Hardware:
Intel® Core i7-3820 Processor Socket-LGA2011, Quad Core, 3.6GHz, 10MB, 130W,
Kingston DDR3 HyperX blu 1600MHz 16GB 8GB 2Rx8 1G x 64-Bit x 2, DDR3-1600, CL10, 240-Pin DIMM Kit

Samsung SSD 840 Series 120GB 2.5"

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you so much!
