Windows 8 Release Preview Randomly Freezes (Freeze Fix)



Last week I decided to test drive the new Windows 8 Release Preview, I did a fresh/clean installation coming from Windows 7 Professional.  After starting up, it booted up fine, and everything seems to be running fine.  It was not until 5-10 minutes later I experienced lagging/freezing with my system.  I was able to move the mouse cursor around but I could not do much more then that  I had to reboot and see if fixes it.  Upon booting back it will do the same thing after 5-10 minutes.  My next step to fixing the problem was to update all drivers and see if that will fixes the problem, after doing so it did same thing.  So I got to a point, where I was going to go back Windows 7, because I needed a stable environment.  Upon doing some research, I ran cross Microsoft forums and found a solution that actually helped me.  Ever since then i have not experienced a  single freeze up,  running 6+ hours.
