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 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.

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
