This is mainly caused due to driver issues. Default drivers from Windows are fine, but download the latest drivers from the respective manufacturers.
I also remember reading somewhere that Kaspersky also causes this problem.
Another cause for the error can be due to errors in your hard disk.

those are valid reasons and all these for what ? competing with iOS and Android ? but sorry, win 8 did not deliver very well ... MS should really think about making a windows 8 desktop edition barring the Metro UI like they release N editions sand WMP, IE ...

Well the reasons are valid.
+1 for this..
I have been telling the same to people in this thread itself.
As I was using a win 7 ahem copy, I thought its good time (and price) to invest on an original OS and ended up buying Win 8

Exactly, anyone who is using *ahem* version have a chance to switch to Original OS without selling his kidney. But for someone who has already purchased Win 7. Its worthless.

I'm facing very odd problem with Win 8.
1. Previously I have 100GB Space on C (When I was on Win 7, and almost 50GB was free with lots of apps of course).
2. When I upgraded to Win 8 I was left with 25GB Free Space.
3. I deleted the Windows.old folder to get more space and then I had more than 30GB Free Space.
Then suddenly space kept decreasing and I really don't know the reason. I didn't install any software after that. And finally I was left with 0 Bytes Free Space on C Drive.
Then I Created this thread => *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/software-q/170971-ways-increase-c-drive.html
And I merged D Drive (Another 100GB) and C Drive, So now C Drive have total 200GB. Left with 100GB Free Space.
Now after using for few days... (1 week or so), now again I have 0 Bytes Free Space
I really can't believe what is has utilized my 100GB :O
Again, I mention, I didn't installed any Software neither I downloaded any software to My Documents or somewhere else in C Drive.
Program Files (x86) + Program Files + Windows + User shows 45 GB. And other folders that are present in C Drive sows 5 GB.
When I Select All Folders and check Properties it shows 50GB. What else can use up my space? Some Hidden Folder? Or something else?
UPDATE : Ok I tried "Show Hidden Folders" and then I get rid of MSOCache (which is MS Office Cache), and another two folder ESD which is 2GB and Program Data shows 140GB.
So Program Data is the culprit. But I can't understand this folder was there on Win 7 too, but how come on Win 8 this folder started hogging so much space?

I woild recommend to de-merge the d: drive and do a clean format of the OS, and format c: drive while installing. It's better to re-install than to search for ghosts.I'm facing very odd problem with Win 8.

Well I can understand. But I really don't want to format. As all of my development environment is setup and I have go through all the hassles again
UPDATE : I guess I have found the problem. The thing is, I had enabled traces for KIS. And that's what was eating my space on C Drive under Program Data.
