I took your advice and updated to 8.1 and things have been running much more smoothly! Meaning I haven't crashed at all! Thank you for your help

Hi everyone! I'm sorry if this isn't the correct thread to post this kind of thing, but oh well. I'm currently having an issue with the SL Viewer where it constantly crashes of it's own accord. I recieve no error message that may suggest anything's happening, the program just freezes for mere seconds and closes. I can only manage to stay on for a decent amount of time by staying in rather low lag sims, but with a lot of activity I'll crash again. I also tend to crash upon arriving in a new place after TPing, especially if there's a high prim count. a lot of activity, or if it's particularly large space. I've tried running as Adminstrator but that only makes the crashing more frequent. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the SL viewer when I got an update, but I don't know if that was clean un/reinstallation. When I've tried troubleshooting for compatibility I was given the option to test running the SL viewer in Windows XP mode (I assumed that this would be easier for a my computer to handle), but the crashing issue still persisted. I'm sorry but I don't know any specs about my laptop only that it is running Windows 8, not 8.1 and (sorry if this is extraneous information) that it's touch screen. There's a sticker that says "Intel Corei5" so I'm guessing that that's the processor, but don't take my word for it. Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this problem? Thank you so much for your help, it's really appreciated. EDIT: I took Whirly Fizzle's advice by updating to Windows 8.1 and the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your help!
