Motherboard controllers is somewhat of a catchall phrase for me. You have to remember that I am an old school PC tech which means that I remember IDE issues before SATA was in common use. * +

Also be sure to try downloading the current motherboard drivers for your system.
Hmm, will Windows 8 Pro work with 1 gigabyte of RAM? I think I remember that Windows XP Pro worked best with at least two gigabytes of RAM. * +

funny enough windows * consumer preview works fastest according to him. Only issue is, because it was a preview. I doubt there is a way to make it full.

Perhaps an extra 1gb ram will change things. * +

windows 8 32 bit edition needs 1 gig of ram just to get going, if your computer has 1 gig of ram to begin with then your bios and graphics and a number of other services all take their own piece of that ram, before you know it that 1 gig of ram is now around 700 mb for your operating system and your programs, your friend needs extra ram 4 gig is the absolute minimum you should be working with these days * +
