Windows 8

Ironically, windows 8 desktop mode is the best thing about the new OS. The Metro side is plagued with problems; most of the "apps" are horribly slow, or don't work at all, or crash intermittently. I've had almost no problems getting software to work properly on Windows 8 Pro, and several of the new features enhance the user experience. But if my brand new 3rd gen overclocked quad core with 2400 MHz RAM can't run "apps", how are all those slow tablets and laptops gonna manage it? Microsoft needs to fix those problems quickly if they have any hope at all of dominating the mobile markets

Try testing using Memtest86, it sounds like you might be having memory corruption issues.

If you are, try clocking down your RAM. You're not going to see much difference between 1600Mhz and anything higher on a 3rd gen i7.

Exactly what I was thinking also. Sounds like he has an unstable overclock or memory issues. I seriously doubt this is a Windows app issue.
