    Yeah back to blackscreen. So will work on windows 8.1 install this week. If the problem still persists on 8.1 I'm guessing we can safely say it's a hardware problem at that point?

    I checked reliability monitor but it's not really telling me much I mean the reports are kind of all over the place depending on the day, and if it was pre an update or post update. One mention of a hardware failure, but that could just be me messing with the boot order when I was attempting to get back into it so no hard drive was detected, and going back and forth, I don't know.

    "intel smart connect failed to install", I don't think that's accurate because it did install and then the missing driver symbol went away. idk

    The reliability monitor is a quick method to view the event viewer entries.

    When using Window 8.1 please run the DM log collector.
