Hey,

So I refreshed my windows 8.1 (through the recovery option under PC settings) and every time i try to install a driver it freezes. At first I tried the GPU drivers. Froze. So I removed one card (running crossfire) and installed successfully, Then i tried to install the LAN drivers and it froze again.

Has anyone faced this problems before?

Before refreshing everything ran smoothly except that one important update wouldn't install. My windows copy is not pirated if anyone wonders.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Check your OS for errors...
First try System File Checker
Winkey plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report...

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system
If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Observe spaces before /)

Re-run SFC

To view CBS Log

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down.
