Window provides driver update. Sometimes hardware don't auto update driver. Since the 2 laptop has different hardware. I am not surprise one laptop's driver update correctly and the other doesn't. Nothing wrong with not able to auto update. Just do it manually. It is a good habit to update driver manually.

in my Windows 7 everything is fine and it didn't hang until now , I have this problem just in Windows 8 .

There is really very little you can do about because Window 8 is not supported. Apart from using the Window 7 driver and install in compatibility, there is nothing else to do.

Windows 8 is suppose to have similar spec requirements as Windows 7 did.

The Windows 8 Developer Preview is a pre-beta release. It's not intended for end-users. There is no guarrantee of support to any extent. Some hardware makers have provided early driver releases to allow for testing. If you want full support, wait until Microsoft officially releases Windows8 to the public. Running a pre-beta release and expecting full support is both naive and ignorant.
