Windows 10 BSOD
-
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.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

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.

I haven't had a BSOD on Win10 at all
But judging from your earlier posts that's the ONLY problem you DIDN'T have... :~

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

I had a short run of BSOD's quite a while ago. I seem to recall they happened when I played Spider and moved the cards too fast. I think I upgraded my video driver. Sorry I can't be more specific.
