Greetings.

Today i suddenly got BSOD when i play some games. It was too fast i cant see what the error is. And after my pc restart thers an error messege it says my windows evaluation copy has expired and will restart every 2 hour and it told me to download the newer version and it give me option to go to windows strore or closed the messege. So i ofcourse click the windows store and download it. And after download progress reach 30% , again BSOD appears so fast i cant read what the error code is after restart the same messega about my windows expired appear so i click windows store again [Im sure that it will resume my download progres at 30%] . But IT NOT. Im force to download again from 0%.

Now i try to search google for help :

-How to stop this damn restarting [BSOD in my case] every 2 hour because I CANT RESUME my last download how can i solve this problem?

Any solution you can give me will be A GREAT help.

We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.   We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause.

Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer.

They can be found here

If you have any questions about the procedure please ask

It is restarting but in the form of BSOD. I try to download the update again from windows store when at about 10% progress theres a messege saying [again] that my copy of windows 8.1 evaluation has expired and will restart IN 1 HOUR. So this time i prepare , and when it happen again its BSOD even if its too fast i didnt see any error code its just say "sorry your pc has run into problem, colecting bla bla bla and restart itself" it realy happen after[every] 2 hour i even use my stopwatch to match the time remaining.

I cant finish the download if windows keep restarting every 2 hour and i cant solve this problem if i dont download this update. I cant download 3,79 gigs file in less than 2 hour. So my only option is to stop this every 2 hour restarting.

The reboots are because of the reduced functionality now that preview has expired.  You could always purchase the 8.1 dvd and do a clean install.

AFAIK there is no way to stop the 2 hour reboots.

Windows 8.1 was to be a free beta for current Windows 8 users, in order to help them test their product and to enrich the deficiencies of Windows 8 and at this time Win 8.1's final version was expected by many to also be free.  Being inconvenienced in this way, through no fault of our own, is disconcerting, at best, with interrupts and reboots every 2 hours.  It's actually quite insulting, since having the 8.1 beta was not a bowl of cherries.

TRUE WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM NO :( i can't do anything it keeps restarting i can't download the new windows or anything my internet is slow so :S how dare you Microsoft do such a thing :S

BY THE WAY IT'S NOT  BSOD  , !!!!!!!!! NO WAY

You used the word BSOD.  I am only following your description.

Why does MS think they need to reboot my machine ever 2 hours???!!!   This is a preview version, it's not a pirated version!!!  They don't even do this with pirated software!  Why so heavy-handed with a preview version that was free to use???!!!  Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

You have screwed up your system and you're blaming the crashes on someone else.  You need to stop thinking it's someone else's problem.  Keeping your system healthy is your responsibility.

There is NO upgrade path from preview/evaluation copies to the released versions, anyway, so it really doesn't matter.  You have to reinstall something.

You could reinstall 8.0 and upgrade, or you could get an 8.1 disc and put that in as a fresh install (more expensive, but my recommendation), or you could see if maybe this can help you:

       The preview edition expired on January 14, 2014, just as it states in the software licensing terms you agreed to when you first installed it.
