    Look into this posting and the solution is given by 2nd last response by Hoff....

    Essentially go to the power management in device manager and turn off the ability of the computer to switch of power for power saving....do this relevant devices..

    It has worked for me as I have had this consistent problem twice when i had installed windows 8. At both times I employed this method to avoid the bluetooth devices going offline.
