NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes/kills/shuts down Win 8.1 Pro, which also fails to start!
The previous version 340.52 worked ok.
Solution to get a working system:
1) let Win 8.1 take into use the previous working version (you may loose some app updates)!
2) let Win 8.1 pro update itself (takes a long time but its worth waiting!)
Note:
a. Ten points to Win 8.1 Pro being able to restore the previous working version
note: compare to Linux with eternal rest loop and "kernel in panic" state if you use NVidia's new drivers!!
b. Zero points to NVidia from this bug!
Continuation: waiting for a well tested new NVidia driver while using the older one
