It's also possible that you have some slightly faulty hardware that fails after extended use (heat buildup, ...). Again, this is not Windows fault and your Vista uses different hardware making is useless for comparison.

No My Temps are good and hardware is all good. Samsung has given the laptop there is nothing wrong with it. Stamp of approval. I am obsessed with keeping my computers cold though so I monitor my temps at all time.
Don't you think that Windows should be backwards compatible for older programs though? I mean why include a compatibility mode if it doesn't truly work? However my most crashes are with Firefox and Chrome which are up to date. If that could just be fixed I would seriously happy. I may never like Windows 8 besides the search engine being better than Vista and I like Jump list when they do work but I would like a stable system. I know plenty others who are in the same boat so I know I am not alone in hoping Windows 10 fixes some of these issues. Although the Jump list problem seems to have been around since Windows 7. I realize that 8 is a beta operating system Microsoft's big jump into the tablet world and trying to create a hybrid. Just like when Amazon jump into Android and their first Kindle Fire has alot of issues that got better by the Third Generation when Mojito came along. I still don't have to like it though but I am hopeful for it to get better.
