Open the programs, right click on em in the task bar and select pin to task bar. Do this for your most used programs. Win 8.1 should start in desktop mode automatically anyway (it did for me at least). I touch metro maybe once a month, that's it. I pinned the control panel, task manager, steam, office suite, msi afterburner, and about 5 other comingly used programs. You really don't need a start button at all. You can download a third party app to bring it back though. I don't know what it's called, but a quick search should find it for you.
You can live without a start button. It just takes pinning.
Bought a new motherboard on eBay. Asus P8Z77-I DELUXE I was pleasantly surprised when I swapped mobos and my hard drive booted into Windows 8.1 just fine. Even switched out the drivers for me too. I guess it helped that they were both Z77 chipsets. Now when my Node 304 gets here the real fun begins and I can get that small ass board out of my full ATX case.
My computer doesn't turn on now. It turns on briefly for a couple seconds, shuts down, turns on again then shuts down a min later, and cycles like that. I've tried different mobo and PSU and does the same thing so I think the cpu is fried. I'm going to try to see if I can get a warranty claim
No I didn't have to re-install. It ended up requesting I reactivate Windows today. I'm used to getting a blue screen if you switch out a major component like that.
My goal was to avoid the re-install because I have copy once DVR content recorded on the PC and a re-install means it becomes useless. I can still play everything with the new motherboard.

Almost everything is exchangable with ease, it can just get messy if you jump from AMD to INTEL, but I would assume that even that is not that bad anymore.

Maybe not fried, make sure the thermal paste is still good though and reapply some.
I haven't really been playing pc games recently. I'm catching up on consoles shyts. Just beat DK:TF. I'm gonna try Bayonetta again next.

They never fixed the games I want to play on pc (at least not in sli), so it's still a waiting game for me. I'm disappointed as fukk, but not surprised. Nvidia has been slipping with their drivers. They didn't even attempt to fix sli shyt in dragon age or far cry 4 in the latest driver. Didn't even attempt it
shyt pisses me off. I'm really thinking about going AMD in the spring with my new build. If those 390xs are as good as the rumors, I think we'll see something special. I just can't believe dragon age and fc4 weren't even touched by nvidia. fukking
I dunno what they're doing. They used to be so good with the drivers. I'm glad I got console shyt to fall back on right now though. If not, I'd be more than pissed, or be forced to use one gpu and one monitor 
This break from PCs is doing me well right now though. shyt was a constant battle. Stepping away has been good for me

Over here with AMD, I last heard MGS:GZ was running like crap on AMD cards.
. Seems like it's a hit or miss these days.
Yeah, I ain't even gonna say it, but you know what I'm thinking...
