Probably a RAM issue. Windows 8 32 bit sounds like a horrible OS. The combination of Windows 8 being very RAM hungry and 32 bit limiting you to 3.75GB of RAM would cause all kinds of issues.

At least you get Windows 10 for free at the end of the year. Sorry to say you can't do much more than either run Windows 7 32 bit or Windows 8 64 bit if you want to be free of these problems if all of your hardware is running fine.

64 bit Windows 8.1 would be ideal. I'm kind of annoyed that you were even given 32 bit Windows 8 instead of 64 bit. You should have been able to use 64 bit Windows 8 from the start when you have that much RAM.

If you bought it at a store I would go back and complain.

Its $70 in Australia for Windows 8 64 bit. If you download it or get an installation disc you just follow the prompts.
But make a backup before switching to a new OS, just to be 100% safe if something goes wrong during installation.
