I find that my acer 5750G-6480 laptop on windows 8 release preview, freezes a lot. Can someone please help me with a solution? I will post the log from the windows 8 log collector here for your convenience.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Try my solution:

If you have no disable C-States option in the BIOS (most laptops don't) you can workaround by creating a new Custom Power Plan and set - as an advanced option - in the Processor Power Management Tab the minimum processor rate at 50-70% ( i set myself at 50%) and the maximum processor rate at the very same value! (50%-50% or 70%-70%).

No crashes since then! Yes it takes from the processing power, but at least the system is stable.
As i noticed here and on other forums, this is an Intel only problem.

I own an Acer too - model 3830G, i5 2450M, video GT540M

Later edit: let us know if it works.

Ok so last Friday I bought windows 8 pro
so ever since I had it would freeze only on the splash window or start screen I have dealt with this problem by updating drivers system check after check nothing seemed to work so I thought it was my NVidia drivers on my 560TI. well come to find out I forgot that I unlocked my dual core 555 black edition AMD 3.2GH to quad and my friend said hey I just thought of something to re lock those cores I was like ok so after almost 5 days of me cussing and wanting to throw my pc out the window and I installed windows 8 3 times full installs he remembers this and the point is if u have any cores unlocked and are having the freezing problem re lock them it fixed my computer instantly all I can say is it actually worked for me I am so relieved yet very mad at my self for not thinking of the unlocked cores but hey my pcs running like a camp now so good luck and if anyone need any help ask I did everything possible in the last 4 days to my pc
