Acer aspire V7 win 8.1 update problem

After updating windows 8.1, I think that the KB3000850 around 750MB causes problems, 
SDD usage goes to 100% for a few minutes when Laptop boots up, there's no freeze or lag, just FAN keeps spining very fast for the time when SSD is at its fullest usage, then SSD usage goes back to 0% but vent keeps randomly spinning up very fast and not constant even there is nothing running ( IDLE ), and sometimes processor locks at min 0.75GHZ and not changing ( don't mention power plan, cos its not working ).

I reverted that update, and there is no SSD 100% usage and there is no strange vent spinning and there is no CPU lock.

Any suggestion how to configure system after WIN update to keep it working normal ?

UPDATE is messing things up....

Thanks in advance guys Smiley Wink

    If an update gives you problems, sometimes performing a clean boot after the update can resolve any issues.

    ok sounds good.  After you perform the clean boot, then you have to put it back to the way it was.....which is easy......but I always forget to do it though Smiley Happy

    One reason it could be staying at .75 is because it's getting too hot.

    What temp does Speccy say your CPU and motherboard temp is currently at?

    please post that temp. 

     

    Then play the game.....and then check Speccy again.

    I guess you could look on Acer's website and update your BIOS if you're comfortable doing something like that. 

     

    Maybe be someone else can give you some suggestions.  I'm not a heavy gamer and I think the hottest I ever had my CPU on my desktops is 47 C. Smiley Wink
