That was your experience. By 'trashing' your computer, it sounds like you
did an upgrade. Due to the pre-release nature at this time, I'm guessing you
were using a beta version - a reasonable guess. That is what beta software
does. Sounds like you had a driver/compatibility issue - likely an
incompatible program still installed when you upgraded.

Compatibility issues will even out soon enough.
