Hi

Now the problem has been solved as workaround solution from your link page. And i think the possible reason is that i have updated to windows 8 from an existing windows 7.

Thanks.

Answer 4

I have the same problem

The link you gave is not worked for me.

I installed windows 8 on a fresh partition. When installing VS11 Beta, i left my computer there and do something else

When i come back, the screen is dark, my PC is in stand by mode. I press space for wake it up. every thing seem fine, but the screen is still dark (for a long time)

I've to press power button to forces shutdown. and the crash show up

i tried repair, uninstall and reinstall. NOTHING WORKED.

Do i have to reinstall windows8????
