lots of people get windows 8.1 downloaded from the internet after they get it installed they really must run
a command to confirm that their copy of key windows files were not corrupted as the files were placed on their machine. Network drivers can corrupt files during the copy process, incorrect voltages to the memory controller can result in corrupt files, bad drivers for hard drive controllers can cause corruption. Some people use USB thumb drives to install the OS. the drives have high error rates and cause corruption. People even think it is better to use the USB 3.0 port and don't realize that a lot of the drivers for them have issues.
It is always worth the time to check for file corruption after you install the OS, it is pretty simple
you start cmd.exe as a admin (windows key+x +A)
then run
sfc.exe /scannow (this will check and repair any core windows file)
if the above command finds a error it can not fix, you can then use
the dism.exe command
dism.exe /online /check-image /restorehealth
this command will go to a trusted online copy of the file and get it and put a non corrupted copy into your driverstore as a backup.
(I never trust it and reboot and run the sfc.exe /scannow command to confirm the corruption is gone)

yep, I am running windows 8.1 on my machines. Just never had a problem with it.
generally, I find that a machine i build myself has the best chance of working correctly with windows 8.1.
I find that screwy laptops with custom hardware have most of the hard to fix issues.
you should post your actual problem for your blue screen, if you have a crash dump file they are often pretty easy to figure out with a debugger. The most common problem I see with a new build is incorrectly detected memory settings by the BIOS. When you set them correctly the machine just starts working.
but It is just hard to tell and most people will just tell you to run memtest86 on a CD to prove your machine is ok before they start looking for windows problems with your hardware.

windows 8 is a piece of shit. I've reinstalled and lost all my saved data, programs and its already crashed on me and is slow as fuk and still has issues. It's not even programmed right. When it asks you whether you want to keep your files or keep nothing, it still backs up all files even if you choose keep nothing. It's done this both times i installed it.
Windows 8.1 i mean, perhaps Windows 8 is ok, but 8.1 is unusable. Do you use 8.1? I have tried almost everything to stop it from bluescreening to the point where one should not spend anymore time doing so. This problem is obviously universal. due to the number of thread searches i have made. All my hardware is brand new and is secured properly. I have no choice but to try a new OS with a clean HD. I even rang up microsoft support and they told me to take it to my local technician as it must be my fault because i built the comp myself.
