    I went literally years without a BSOD[^] in Windows 7 and now I seem to get them weekly with Win10 - on multiple machines. Is it just me?

    I haven't had a BSOD on Win10 at all - and don't think I had one on Win7 either (which was fairly remarkable).

      I've been running 10 on two machines for a few months and haven't BSOD'd yet. Also, I don't believe I ever had one on 7 either. 8 was a different story!

        I had one, although that was because of NVidia testing in production with a driver that did some rather bad things. Other than that, WinX seems to be quite stable (and fast).

        What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

              Did you upgrade to 10 on these machines or did you do a clean install? I had issues on one machine after an upgrade, but after I did a clean install on it, life is sweet! On another 2 machines I never had an issue. Those were clean installs.

                On Windows 10 the BSOD is nicer. :-O I got BSOD on all. On Windows 7 somehow more and often. I think because Nvidia-drivers or sleep mode.

                      I didn't even know there was a W10 BSOD!

                            It's not just you. I upgrade 4 of my PCs to windows 10, 3 work perfectly and one is just a total nightmare! I suspect it is a problem in the Amd Radeon video driver. I tried upgrading as well as a clean install and it is pretty unstable, to say the least!

                              Hmm. I'm guessing your S.O.'s machine does not BSOD under Win10. My machine, a venerable Acer that started with Vista, has been running Win10 for months, with nary a problem. My wife's laptop, which is only a few months old and has a virgin-install of Win10, BSOD's at the drop of a hat. Any hat. Hats in Cleveland. Swap machines with your S.O., if you dare.

                                  No BSOD yet after upping to 10 but there are some nasty quirks here like the start button or task bar becoming disabled after some time and video stalling or losing sound after some time. Hoping it will get fixed.

                                    BSODs are almost always caused by faults in a driver or, more rarely, memory errors. The drivers for Win10 haven't had the length of testing that they did for Win7. There were some major core changes in Win10 to improve performance and, as you probably know already, performance increases often hit reliability and safety first... therefore there is a higher chance of BSODs. Just wait three or four years and they will reduce in frequency!

                                    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                        I think it's best to stay with 8.1 or 7 until they release a stable update to 10. - lack of stable/updated drivers - increase in number of OS crashes and BSODs - slower on the same hardware Obviously as a dev, you'd want to have at least one 10 machine for debugging/testing. But it should not be your primary laptop/desktop/OS.

                                          I went literally years without a BSOD[^] in Windows 7 and now I seem to get them weekly with Win10 - on multiple machines. Is it just me?

                                          I've moved 3 home machines to Win10 from Win8.1. Only one of them started to BSOD. I originally "upgrade" installed all of them to Windows 10, for the BSODing machine I did a full refresh of the hardware and software to make sure I got rid of BSODs (and it worked). >Updated all firmware on the PC, EG: latest motherboard BIOs >Reinstalled windows 10 via Windows Refresh (clean install) to remove any junk left from Win8.1 that could cause the BSOD. >After refresh, install all the latest Windows 10 drivers and software. If you have an old mobo and the manufacturer hasn't updated their drivers to Windows 10, it's possible to get the "latest" driver from the offical vendor for that piece of hardware instead. EG: You could get the windows 10 intel chipset driver from intel directly if your mobos support page hasn't updated their chipset version for several years.
