Hi I have just downloaded the windows 8.1 preview version and burned to DVD to install on a newly built PC. The PC specs are:
Intel I5 3570k ivy bridge
Gigabyte h61m-s2pv rev 2.0
Gskill ripjaw 8gb 1333mhz
I am using the integrated hd4000 graphics. Since I completed the build I have been running Ubuntu and wanted to try windows 8.1 before I go and buy it.

So basically I inserted the windows 8.1 DVD and booted from it. It then pauses for a little while and then I get the windows 8.1 flag logo for just a few seconds before the monitor displays 'out of range'.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any fixes for this or whether its going to be a case of a new monitor? The monitor I am using is a LG flatron w1943sb. It worked perfectly with Ubuntu and supported all the games I have played on it so on a bit baffled.

Windows 8.1 preview has expired for public trial last Jan (2014). I am just not sure if the same ISO can be used just for a quick trial.
 

You'll need to run the Enterprise trial version...which is what I'm trying right now on an Asus Eee PC T101MT. It handles it really well. You can get it from here....
