AutoCAD Mechanical 2013 crashes under Win8

Hello

 

I have constant problem with my AutoCAD each time I try to add anything from libraries, like screw, bearing, etc. or when I try to move them. Sometimes I do nothing at all (just open a file and think about changes I want to make) and after a while the program crashes by itself. Sometimes it crashes when I add measures. It crashes anytime I want to add roughness or reference point.

 

Just, it crashes every single time it has a chance to do so.

 

When I had Win7, nothing like that happened, so I thought maybe it's because Autodesk hadn't make Mechanical compatible. But after 2 Service Packs (which, of course, I have installed) there is no improvement. Moreover, I feel like SPs made my AutoCAD crashing even more often! (But maybe that's because my drawings are getting more and more complicated. The more lines and stuff, the more crashes.)

 

I checked references, but my laptop is all fine (and it's quite new; when I had my old laptop, I thought maybe it's too weak for new AutoCAD product, but my brand new HP Pavilion g6-2260sw W8 has the same problems). I contacted Autodesk support on Twitter, but all they could help me was to send me here and ask you. So, here I am, hoping for solving this really annoying issue. I have a lot of work for my classes and everything goes awfully slow because of constant crashing.
