Windows 8 Consumer Preview Freezes Randomly

[kanishkdudeja]

I installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview some time ago. It ran fine for some time but now freezes randomly. I am attaching the log collected by the Windows 8 Log Collector tool. If you could help me, would be a great help. Thank you.

Hello there!

Seems like lot of crashes are related to Disply drivers (igdkmd32.sys, nvkflt.sys) and few licensing errors. Download your Display drivers and install it. Make sure you properly remove the old version properly.

As for the licensing errors seem like the KMS licensing service is not able to communicate to the MSFT server. If you have a Proxy disable it. You can check this article Activation fails when you try to activate Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 over the Internet

If that didn't fix it then try to Refresh Windows 8 PC. Follow this article http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2293-refresh-windows-8-a.html
