Re: Access Violation at Address 00433D27 ?
Great, glad it is working fine for you, there could be little better gift than getting one's wife off their back.
So all is good... with a couple exceptions.
When you wrote "unidentified items" in Device Manager, are they listed under Unknown devices? I imagine they are.
That is interesting, since I am involved in another thread about a similar thing happening in Windows 8. One of those unknown devices may be the same as in the other thread: http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/5...ice-error.html
In that thread, the problem is with a USB interface, and although not mentioned by the OP, I am guessing it is one of the USB 3.0 interfaces. Your board has USB 3.0 support provided by the Intel B75 chipset, with two USB 3.0 ports on the rear I/O panel (blue), and a header on the board for connection to a PC case's USB 3.0 port, if it has one.
I noticed that the Windows 8 download page for the board in the thread above did not list an Intel USB 3.0 driver, but the Windows 7 download page does. Same for my ASRock board, and your's too. I'm guessing that Windows 8 should have a USB 3.0 driver that works with the Intel chipsets, but either it doesn't, or it has problems.
Did you happen to try any of the USB 3.0 ports to see if they work? Connecting a USB flash drive of any type to them would be a good test.
All this may not be related to those two unknown devices, but if you could do us a favor, try the Intel USB 3.0 ports on the rear I/O panel of your board with some kind of USB device, and post the results. Regardless of the results, that would add to our knowledge about Windows 8, and potential driver issues. I have a feeling that may be the tip of a small, but bothersome iceberg regarding Windows 8 drivers... I hope not.
Forgive me for saying this, but if you have two unknown devices, all is not 100% well. You might have not installed a certain driver for a less obvious device, or there is one of the many features your board has, that is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI that does not have its corresponding software installed, so is broken. ASRock has so many of these features enabled by default, drives me crazy since I don't use most of them, and always must disable them, or at least check, after a UEFI update or BIOS clear.
At one time, I worked directly across the street from the Sears tower. That was in the time shortly after its construction. On very windy days, tall buildings like that literally sway back and forth by a foot or two. When that happened, a few of the glass windows would be squeezed, crack, shatter, or literally pop out of their frame, and crash down to the street below! They had special vehicles to vacuum up the glass, I saw them working, and the street (Jackson Blvd.) would be blocked off. They have since then taken care of that little issue...
