I installed the 9860? (latest update) last night. After several reboots, it seems OK. But this morning it stalls on reboot. Ends with a blank screen. Retried several times, no result. This is on a machine that had a fresh install of the original tech preview distribution. Any thoughts?
Update: Since I was left with a useless computer, I decided to re-install the original distribution. Luckily I had downloaded the ISO and burned a DVD. Booting from the DVD, I started the install process. However I was offered an option to remove an (Windows?) update. So I did so and then rebooted. Surprise! I have a functional Tech Preview. Surprisingly it still is running the 9860 version. So I'm not sure what was removed, but I now have a functional WindowsTP installation.
10/23/14 Update: Computer refused to boot again very early this morning. Left with a blank screen with a cursor. Had to repeat the booting from a DVD, choosing the Repair option, Advanced. It removed Preview Update and fixed problem. Still not sure what's going on as the desktop is still labeled the 9860 release.
10/23/14 Update 1: Didn't seem to boot correctly again. Suspect it is related to a video driver problem. Using an older ATI display card. I think I'll have to abandon the evaluation until I can find a solution.
