Yes, it's just you. ;P

I haven't had a BSOD on Win10 at all - and don't think I had one on Win7 either (which was fairly remarkable).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

But judging from your earlier posts that's the ONLY problem you DIDN'T have... :~

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.

Brilliant. :laugh:

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.

Works on my machines.
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'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.

how long did you stay on xp before going to 7? If anything like me, i didnt switch to 7 till at least 2+ years after it's release, and guess what, most of those BSODs likely fixed by then. Win10 is only 7 months main release and about 11 months mass release with the dev channel, so it still got a ways to go.

I think I had a few, but more often the system just crashed without one. That was some 2 or three months ago. Since then it was stable - but I don't run that machine very often. Back then, Mary Jo Fowley reported that very same problem, and a couple of her readers confirmed it. Apparently the issues were resolved by doing a fresh install rather than running a system upgraded from an earlier version. I suspect that some of the windows update are just not very good in dealing with the remnants of older Windows versions.

I've seen it a few times. Looks just as familiar and cozy as it used to be. But mostly the system didn't bother and just went black. Probably one of the areas where MS improved performance! :rolleyes:

Had a perfectly working machine on windows 8.1 but then I got BSOD or lock-ups once or twice a day after upgrading to windows 10. I reverted back to windows 8.1 - actually still got BSOD but only when resuming from sleep and only sometimes. So at least I can be productive without risk of a crash and losing work. The nvidia forums have plenty of people with similar issues. The latest drivers issued in the last week or so still have the issue. So you are not alone.

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.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
Had a few BSODs on my laptop, always when using Autocad. Clean install on my PCs and no problems at all. I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

That's like saying dying is the only problem you never had at the doctor's office! I guess that's still pretty good! :-D
