8.1 x64 Random Freeze and Restart

Good day forum,

Recently I installed 8.1 Preview x64 on my machine and yesterday it started to freeze randomly and restart itself after a few seconds of freezing. Usually it freezes in a few minutes after loading into the desktop.

What I have tried:
-Disable all non-MS services except nVidia Driver Display Service

Note:
-No software/hardware/driver changes is made recently.

Would be very grateful if you could kindly give me some guidance on what I could try and the possible cause(s). Thanks:D

First off, a disclaimer - I am not familiar w/8.1 so my analysis is based on Win8 RTM
8.1 is (as I understand it) a Developer's Release - so it can be expected to have bugs.
In the end, the only sure thing will be to revert to Win8 RTM and wait for the RTM version of 8.1

Your BIOS dates from 2010. Please check at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any BIOS updates available for your system. Also check the readme file to see if they apply to the problems that you are having. Please be advised that flashing the BIOS is a very unforgiving process - and one mistake can physically damage your motherboard.

Only 7 Windows Updates installed. I have no idea of how many are usual for 8.1. Please visit Windows Update and get ALL available updates (it may take several trips to get them all).

D: drive only has about 4% free space, E: only has about ½% free, and G: only has about 1% free. Windows likes 15% free space in order to perform stuff "behind the scenes" without adversely affecting the system's performance. Please free up 15% on ALL hard drives (you can get away with 10% on larger drives and won't notice a large performance penalty)

Your CD/DVD drive is disabled. Is this deliberate? If so, why?

All of the memory dumps blame your video drivers. Also, the WER section of MSINFO32 shows other TDR type errors with the video. Please follow the troubleshooting directions here: Video TDR Timeout - 0x116 + 0x117 - Sysnative Forums

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

John,

Thank you very, very much sir! I have cleared up some disk space to the amount you specified, and I have followed the directions from the link that you gave me(to uninstall the display driver and its related stuff completely and re-install the driver software only). Concerning the Windows Updates, the above steps already solved my problem before I install any new updates :D. I have installed them at last for good anyway.

Few days has passed and everything is very stable now! Thank you very much for everything!

PS: I disabled the optical disk drive to save some power and $$ :(
