Hello, I have purchased a new machine with Windows 8 and I also receive this message.  Should I follow the same instructions?  Or, will there be an update to correct this error?  I am so frustrated by this that I am ready to return the machine, for which I paid nearly $1500!

It may help to look at the minidump files from the crashes with a debugger.

Can you zip up the minidump files in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and make available (provide link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

The following link has information on using Windows Live SkyDrive:

If you have problems zipping the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the Desktop

Also, you do not necessarily have to zip up the minidump files, you can upload them one at a time.
