I changed the boot sequance to boot from disk first, when it loads the disk it gives the message "ATAPI CDROM: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT51N has been blocked by the current security policy" in the bios it gives me 2 options, legacy boot or UEFI, under it has the secure boot setting that I can not...

I am trying to downgrade from windows 8 that came in my nice shiny new laptop... needless to say I want win 7 back. So got my copy of win 7 and put the disk in and its complaining that the disk is being blocked by security settings, research has showed this to be the UEFI settings, I switched...

its random, can be a couple of hours apart to an entire day, 1 crash a day to 3 or 4, not doing anything special at the time, as such I have not found any pattern I have also looked over windows reliability history, all it shows is that the system did not shut down properly, the full issue can...
