Hello everyone,

For 4 months I am using win 8 32 bit, because I have HUGE problem with the 64 bit version. I contact Microsoft, Nvidia no one even care from there for my problem. It is bad because there around thousands of people having the same problem. My PC specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 x2 5400+

2GB ram

500 GB

GPU Nvidia 550 ti

PW Coler MAster GX-lite 500w

ON this forum on Nvidia https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/523979/windows-8-graphical-bug-glitch/ there is the same problem like main on a lot of better PC. But nvidia ignore all of us If you have the same problem please answer me. And if mr. Linus read this and dint know the answer please tell someone from Nvidia to fix that deam problem , people are buying their cards and they don't even care to tell us your GPU will never work with windows 8.

So thanks for your time if you read this and if you have same problem just reply so i know there are more of us :D, that sound creepy :D

Have you tried installing it with onboard graphics (if available) if not using another GPU then installing your new GPU after install. or doing the digital install from when windows 7 is running?

Something else I noticed on the Nvidia forums is that all people having the problem are using AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU maybe there is something windows 8 doesn't like about that combo.

My guess is that the problem is with the installation of windows 8 and if you're installing off disk there is nothing MS or Nvidia can do without you getting a new disc or doing it digitally.

I have no problem with digitally update if I need, I have Windows 7 Pro disc (64 bit) so I can always clean install it and then update again to win 8 if I must. At this moment I am using windows 8 32 bit and it is not so big problem because I have only 2GB RAM, but I wanted to put another 2GB. However it is so bad that no one answer us from MS,Nvidia or AMD for this problem. They are like "nah we will wont reply to the problems of our costumers" - and that is sad
