The only issues with hibernate that I have noticed is when Hauppauge tuner cards are used, if it goes to sleep it will not wake up. The main issue I have had with this board is the HDMI output, I had to use the DVI output and a DVI to HDMI adapter in order to keep my screen from locking up, and I tried all the latest drivers. This also meant I had an audio issue, because DVI does not carry the audio signal to the HDMI adapter.

Uncertain as to what you ask by "full"?... as far as performance, I love this board. I'm running an AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU with Kingston ram. Windows?... not so much :P

Yes it works without any problems on my Liquid Cooled i7 Quad core at 3.9 GHz with Windows 8 and now with Windows 8.1. Therefore you should not have any problems on any computer system that is capable of running Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

I have had no issues with this computer. To date I still think it is one of the greatest laptops I've ever had. I would have preferred it with Windows 7 versus 8, but that's not the units fault. When I first got this, i had some major issues with WiFi in my home. I called Samsung and they walked me through a fix in settings for it and it has rocked since then. If you are considering this computer, do yourself a favor a get one. It is extremely light, may be lighter than a Macbook Air. Everyone that sees it loves it. Nothing it better than a solid state HDD. It boots up in about 2 seconds. So yes, I'm Satisfied with the laptop and Samsung in general. I have had no issues with this computer.

Only running two 8s myself. Have had numerous issues when powering off. Corrupt bios then backs up from other bios and works fine after that. Other than that. Love it.

Thanks Kanje, I will keep that in mind. So far the only gripe I have is the lack of volume. If I could do something about that. Might keep ad a work computer only as I got it at a reduced price.

I'm currently using it on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. I had a weird issue after upgrading from 7 to 8 which made the audio not work, but uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem.

It works well with mine. I am using a AMD Quad Core CPU and it works quite well!

There is Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager which is a pretty nifty program that is made by the people who made the networking card for this laptop. There is an Nvidia program that is installed for game optimization, streaming, drivers, etc.. The other program is called Hybrid Power and what it does is a power manager that can have your computer pull power from the battery as well as the power supply if the power supply isn't cutting it. So what they're basically doing is trying to allow the user to get optimal CPU and GPU performance. Those are the main programs. Other utilities include the System Control Manager, which allows users to adjust screen brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, volume and the webcam. There's also MSI Burn Recovery to help users back up their data. And then it also comes with the typical Windows 8 stuff. Metro, blue stacks, etc.. I downloaded a program called Start 8 to get it back to the windows 7 feel with a start button etc.. I also turned off blue stacks due to personal preference. That's pretty much it as far as programs that came with it. I've really like how the air ventilation system is in this computer. Pulling from the top and then pushing out the air upward and diagonally. Windows 8 took some getting used to but other than that its a pretty solid laptop. Didn't have to mess with bloatware, only really thing was customizing windows 8 to act how I wanted it. Hope this helped.

I dual boot win 7 and 8.1 and haven't experienced any issues. I find 8.1 to boot up fastest and overall better performance. Win 7 works great though!

It works just fine with both Win 7 and Win 8.1... I will say that under either OS, if I leave the interface up, eventually the USB drops the connection with the PC and I have to power cycle the unit or unplug and plug back in the USB cable. There may be newer drivers which address this or it maybe configurations I can modify on my PC. But to your question, "how well does it work," I get smooth streaming sound when I'm working with it ... did you have specific requirements in mind?

I can't vouch for Win7 performance, but run Win 8 off of it connected to my TV via HDMI with no issues (movies, music, streaming, etc). Audio also works over HDMI.

Yes, not a problem at all. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Never had a problem. Best investment on my gaming PC I've ever made.

Mine is in a headless server, Win 8.1 Pro. I can't get into the BIOS without hooking it up. If I knew what you were looking for I'd like to help.
