[null and void]

It's the fact that I have had problems with the system not shutting down/restarting. I have to pull the plug and laptop battery to get the system turned off.

You would want to shut down Windows?

You would want to shut down Windows?

LOL! Yep, I would. I have Win8 as a dual boot along with Win7. I play around in Win8, but do my work in Win7. For the first few days everything was fine. But last Friday I started having problems shutting down Win8, or trying to reboot into Win7. I hit shutdown or reboot and it goes right back to the Metro screen. At times it begins the shutdown process, but goes to a black screen and the laptop is still powered. Nothing allows the system to shut down completely, nor can I get back to the Win8 desktop. I have to pull the plug and battery.

A Google search shows others have had the problem as well. So, I'm staying away from it for now.
