I have a feeling in some configs when not installing windows from scratch on the machines components, the motherboard/windows/drive are not all on the same page. Maybe you could try a Windows repair, does that even exist anymore? Also I saw something about samsung drives and wifi issues but my guess is you are wired.<div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 22, 2014, at 3:08 PM, Tony Scharf <<a href="mailto:noisetheorem@outlook.com">noisetheorem@outlook.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div>My guess?
