Hi all,

Every time I try to play a game or watch a video my computer freezes up. And there is no sound coming from my computer. Does anyone know what could be the problem. Tried troubleshooting but everything comes up as being OK.

FYI: I am running windows 8 Release preview. I had windows 8 CP before. That's OK when playing a game or watching video.

Thanks for any help.

Did you attempt to upgrade from Win 8 CP to Win 8 RP? This would explain your troublesome install. I would start over using this method.

Please upgrade your drivers for sound and video to the latest.

No. I did a "clean" install of windows 8 release preview.

Then your hardware may not be supported at this time, after all this is a beta OS. I would search the manufacturer's web site for possible driver updates. There may not be a Win 8 beta driver available yet, but many people are having success with the Win 7 drivers.
