I tried enabling/disabling every possible power related settings on the BIOS and it didn't help. I would get extremely happy for a couple of hours but eventually the freezing nightmare would come back to haunt me.

Strange, after disabling them I haven't had a single freeze for nearly 3/4 days now. :/

The issue seems to have increased a lot today. I'm using IE not Chrome. It's frozen with and without C3/C6 and EIST disabled. Issue has also ramped up a lot today on my MacBook Pro.

Same here. Had to hard reset 8 times in a row, 2-15 minutes apart. This is just ridiculous.

The only other thing I have disabled in BIOS is HPET.

With HPET, EIST and C3/C6 states all disabled I haven't had a single freeze in 4 days now.

With Just HPET disabled the machine freezes

With Just C3/C6 disabled the machine freezes

With Just EIST disabled the machine freezes

With all 3 disabled I have yet to have a freeze.

ALSO I never did have any freeze with Internet Explorer. Maybe you have another issue :/

This issue seems to be widespread - has happened to me as well. Thought it was Chrome... stopped using Chrome and then it happened once in Firefox. Still going now since then...

I have noticed that the underside of my notebook is hotter and gets hotter more often, whether or not that's related im not sure.

it's all very weird and as much as I love some of the new features, I want to go back to W7 if this doesn't get fixed soon. Is MS aware of the bug?

I thought my issue had to do with Nvidia drivers, but I get the crash even without any installed, and I still get the IE10 crash immediately upon opening after some time using the system.

Does anyone with a P67 chipset and an Nvidia card have absolutely no problems? If so what chipset drivers are you using?

Today when I was on my work I?ve read about a workaround that someone hinted about on another forum (can't remember which now), check it out here: http://rudiv.se/Blog...wser-freeze-fix

I'll try that next. Right before I had found that fix yesterday, someone had mentioned about disabling the pagefile. Both my machines have 8-16GB ram, so I am trying it out. So far no crash in about 7 hours. We'll see how it goes.

For some reason I can't edit my last post.

The Hypervisor method cleared up my freezing/lockups, but IE still reverts back to crashing upon startup after I use it for a bit, and sometimes starts right off the bat with a clean boot.

Bottom line, is it's usable now for testing and to try out some games.

Paul Thurrot posted today an article related to some of the issues he is having on Win 8 RP.

http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows8/broken-windows-issues-windows-8-release-preview-unusable-143515

The first one looks like the same discussed here.

He wants to presents the issue to MS, so he is looking for people having the problem to contact him.

If anyone else is experiencing these issues, please do contact me immediately. I?d like to present these issues to Microsoft with a bit of backing, particularly for the second issue, which seems more like a poltergeist experience than a technical bug. But that?s what?s happening.

BTW, the Hyper-V workaround has worked for me.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
