I know people hate hearing this. Have you checked the mem test program from Microsoft? New hardware might have problems. And this did work for me once. Just removing one stick of memory. And I was able to install win 8.
but more then likely the following will be more helpful.
Check the bios for "Enhanced Speed-Step." Try turning off automatic speed and try turning up the voltage to 1.6 in the dram. And turning off c1 power saving. Try the turning off one at a time.
Until the management inside, bios, 7/8, or Intel drivers catch up to this problem. This is a temporary solution. But should work. At least the instrumentation inside 7/8 will report this. So my guess is no need to open a solution with Microsoft. I know they do read the posts. So eventually things will improve
But Please, please be sure to research this. My primary system is a x58 i7 920. So I'm not as sure about this stuff. Any mods might fry the system. Just a disclaimer. This should help beginning to troubleshoot the problem
DP55WB & Core i5 + Win7 + Speedstep =...
Intel DP55WB + i5 750 = Unstable!
