Well he was having all sorts of software problems so he was advised to format and reinstall windows. Went and bought a copy of win 8 everything seems to work fine until he plays a game. The game will crash go to a blank screen all lights stay on just a black screen when he reboots he gets windows is repairing disk this may take over an hour runs that boots fine works fine then he games again and same problem over and over. Is this a windows 8 problem? my thought was drivers since on the asus website last time drivers were updated looks like 2010. but the games launch and after about 10+ mins of playing this happens. any ideas?
