Windows 8 samsung notebook problem with CSS not loading

Windows 8 samsung notebook problem with CSS not loading 

windows 8 samsung problemsProblem happens on Samsung ultrabooks series 5 and series 7 and series 9.
Problem is very annoying and irritating - killing productivity. But here is a problem solution.
This problem solution was found after long time of searching and researching.

Problem persists with Firefox and Chrome. Maybe only with Opera there is no problem.

I just got a brand spanking new Win 8 computer (intl English). The only things installed on it are Adobe Master's Collection, Steam, Office and Firefox. In addition I tried installing adblocker, because that's a must for me and if this problem is resolved by removing it I will have to switch to another browser.
Now, the problem is that FF is having problems loading pages with CSS. Occasionally, this results in a pages with nothing at all (except background color, it seems) or with just unformatted text. Most of the time this is fixed by doing a shift+reload, but not always. Some times it's just partially fixed and some elements don't load still.

I've tried disabling all extensions and plugins and I've also tried resetting FF. The problem always comes back. I've even tried resetting my hosts file.
Do you have any more ways of fixing it? I believe I've done everything in my power, except change browsers (which I really don't want to do unless it's my only option).
The only thing I haven't tried, which I'll try now, is unpin all my app tabs and see if that fixes anything. I'll update this if I can...
Pages affected: Facebook (some of the time), Couch Potato (installed on my server - never seen this on other computers or even other browsers on my computer, always), MyFitnessPal (occasionally), and some low-tech dating page I'm on.

I downloaded the file and then checked my version of SWUpdate and saw i was already on that version so didnt need to update. I think i may have installed the updated version last night but im not 100% sure. I know i updated the graphics card but cant remember if i updated SW update as well. I cant remember if i have experienced the issue today or not today? I have got so used to just going in and clearing my cache and reloading the page since i upgraded to windows 8 that its become second nature. I cant get it to do the error right now though so maybe it is fixed? It is usually very frequent i know that and i cant get it to do it now which is a good thing. I will try it out for the rest of today and if it still doesnt do it then hopefully your post will help others out that have the issue. SW Update is very handy so removing it is a pain especially with windows 8 being a very new OS that no doubt more issues will be found inrelation to drivers and software.

Forget Samsung support, I already tried to mail them. I AM using a brand new Series 9 notebook with preinstalled samsung crap software.
Even the old version of SW Update worked fine for me, but I did also update the version a couple of days ago. Not sure which versions runs currently (now using my desktop).
I don't care about Support Center any longer, I don't want to have such software on my system, It digs in place where it has nothing to search and I think it will not help you for anything. Even SW Update is crap, sorry. No descriptions, no display of current versions. Sorry Samsung FAIL. Built hardware and leave software to someone who is able to do it. It is really annoying.

Problem solution is simple - just uninstall Samsung Software Update!
