Inserted the new battery and it shows as 43%. I thought that was odd. I doubt they would supply a batter with only 43% charge. Usually 70-80%. Optimum storage…

Windows 8.1
Hi, I reluctantly "upgraded" this week to Windows 8.1 from XP and have been regretting it since. I think the root of my problem is that my motherboard (Foxconn K8M890 M2MB?) has been phased out so no Windows 8.1 drivers but not entirely sure. My system runs but is painfully glitchy and crashes constantly, screen flickering…
