Android Studio causes Windows 8.1 to crash

Vote count:

Ever since I updated my PC to Windows 8.1, when I start Android Studio and run a simple app I'm testing with, I get a :( with a critical_structure_error that forces my core i7 to restart!

I cleaned out all temp files using CCleaner after I noticed my disk was 100% in the task manager, but that didn't seem to fix much (even though I cleaned 16G out!).

When I open Android Studio again, I get a bunch of errors like this:

Cannot load settings from file 'C:\Users\Me.AndroidStudioPreview\config\options\feature.usage.statistics.xml': java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected content storage modification File content will be recreated

If I leave AS open, it just keeps popping up the same type of content storage error until I close and reopen AS. Once I reopen, I can see the project and it builds fine. Seems like at this point, if I open the emulator, that's when I get the blue screen with :(

I'd really like to keep Windows 8.1 and the current 0.5.9 version of AS without having to revert back to Win 8 or another AS version. More importantly, I don't want my PC to crash every time I use Android Studio!?! Any ideas what's going on here?
