Hi Kemical,
I at first just did the upgrade. Then since it wasn't working I got in contact with microsoft and they tried all kinds of things an then finally walked me through how to make a media disc, so this last time when I did the install I did it from the disc and followed all the instructions I was given from microsoft. Doesn't mean I did everything right. As I said before the only time I get the roatating screens is if I turn off the computer or it restarts, then after is goes to sleep mode, or I should say when the on off button turns orange all I have to do is move the mouse and windows 8 is there and everything works fine with no problems, so would this issue be the graphics card? Thanks
