How To Fix Sudden Shutdown From Asus UX31E Laptop While on Battery Mode

*UPDATE: previous software fix didn't really fix the problem. Now going down to the hardware, the battery specifically.
After diagnosing the problem, it comes down to the battery connector to the mother board. For some reason the connector didn't attached very well to the pin. I tried to pull battery connector out, wait for about 1 minute, then plug it back in. And viola, I did not encounter the problem ever since. To be honest, never expect this hardware problem from Asus since it's a known brand for hardware. But I guess no brand is perfect.

How To Flesh-Install Window 8 from USB

Here's the steps I had to take to install Windows 8 on an ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31E

1. download Windows 8 and instead of doing the in-place upgrade, save the file as an .iso
2. mount the ISO using Virtual Clone Drive (or your favorite mounting tool)
3. insert a 4GB USB drive & format it to FAT32 this is a very important part, and this is why the Microsoft USB/DVD tool does not work, as that awesome tool formats the USB drive as NTFS.
4. copy all the files from the iso over to the flash drive, keeping the directory structure intact
5. reboot and hit ESC when you see the ASUS logo to bring up the boot menu
6. Look for and select the UEFI: Lexar yadda yadda yadda (your entry will vary based on the make of your USB drive) but the UEFI: part is critical
7. install windows 8 "normally"

this is quick & dirty just to get you installed, maybe one day I'll refine it and add screen shots... but probably not :)
