The graphic driver problems may be due to not having 8.1 on this system :)

OK thanks, which is weird though, why would Windows 8 not work correctly with updated genuine NVIDIA graphic drivers?

But please keep on target: Pre Boot Scan Problems? Any ideas based on all info in this thread?

Use the latest version of the OS, AV and Drivers. Doing anything else is asking for problems.

Not overly sure what the problem is unless you are able to scan one of the image files at virus total

Windows 8 is still supported with Microsoft Updates! Moreover had most severe problems with Update / Upgrade (of Windows 8 from DVD) from Windows Store to Windows 8.1 on one computer, other computer not, only difference Microsoft Account I was logged in with during Upgrade, the problem Windows 8.1 did not look like real Windows 8.1 and did not behave and work like real Windows 8.1.

Both computers (problems and no problems) where secured with Avast 2015 Internet Security (out-of-the-box default settings)

I concur with that, the system looks clean

Is it a backup package that is being detected ?

Whats your bid?

It may be worth checking one of the image files at virus total as a double check

Go to Virustotal
Click Choose File and navigate to an image file on the external HDD and select it
Then press scan it



Once it has completed could you copy the link and post it here

I tried once a suspicious pdf scan at virus total of 200 Mb => File was to big, these image "files" (Windows Explorer does not let you open the folder) are 30 Gb

Anyways you seem to be interested in these backup system images which maybe contain some latest and newest hack, probably a key logger virus (installer) that remains even after a rebuild OS, we can DM Twitter chat about it at @art_rotterdam, just follow me and send notification for DM
