Doomsinger was asking about the SSD as the most common cause for this type of error is SSD firmware conflicting with the Windows 8 OS (i.e. unsupported). However, it can also be caused by out of date hardware drivers, so it's definitely worth doing a full system update at your earliest convenience.

If you also have a normal hard drive in your system, it may be worth trying to install the Battle.net Desktop App there for the time being.
