    I tried turning it on with F2 pushed, with F10 pushed and with ESC pushed and nothing works it just goes straight to that win8 screen... So how do i do it?

    Turn off fastbios in windows using sony control center application. other than that, dunno, im in the same boat as you. bsod on new driver, fastbios enabled, win8 and not even windows safe mode works without bsoding... id love to get another answer to the problem too... other than that, im sending mine to sony repair for some much needed love...

    Edit: lesson learnt is thrice: no more win 8, no more fastbios and no more delete recovery disk...

    Edit2: that stock sony win 7 setup sure looks nice now, even with the bloatware...
