There might be many reasons why your Windows 8 PC is not working properly, it could be because of a virus infection or any malwares or even due to some new software installation. Sometimes, a new driver installation could also cause issues with the stability of Windows 8. In such cases, the only solution is to restore the system using a system restore point or a system image.
