Windows 10 ... slow burn.
-
So I made the switch back in August and loved Win10. Ignited some Win fanboyism that I thought I could never again regain. It works and it works well. ... until In the past two months I keep getting BSOD. Which, really, I can't remember seeing a BSOD is YEARSSS. Yet I have a modern O.S., which is getting a big push from Windows, supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread, and my name brand laptop is < 2 years old. Am I missing something????? Apparently this is common, a happening to a lot of people with newish Asus and Dell laptops. Here is the windows forum thread about it.[

Even though the interface is nice and much more user friendly, Windows will do its best to sabotage you. I'm running Fedora 23 on my other laptop and it's turned it from a Celeron beater to an actually decent machine. That some how worked out of the box perfectly. Windows, for shame.

It's definitely a crapshoot. I installed it on my old wolfdale and the only major problem has been my media drives failing. It's not windows' fault. They're the infamous seagate 1TB faildrives - which is why I only used them to store things I could easily replace. PS: Never buy seagate anything if you are fond of your data. If you want your western digital black to function like a seagate, drop it in a pond, fish it out, run over it a few times, solder random points of the pcb board on the bottom together, and then blowdry the result with a heatgun before putting it in your computer with the sata cable jammed on upside down.

It's a trap! :laugh:

Seriously, Trust No One! Biggest trap ever, and those who opted out long enough to see the first "Service Pack" crash and burn are laughing at their desks. The straw that broke the camel's back: My calculator no longer works. ::drops mic:: And I actually liked the way that the calculator looked and functioned, not doing much good if I can't see it or use it... So that's the new analogy Windows 10 is equivalent to danah gaz's Seagate Drives. Literally this O.S. is performing like it's been run over, drowned and all the other colorful things you mentioned. And for full clarity I've been working to make sure everything was cushy and ready for Win 10. I've updated my bios, updated all my drivers, everything I could do and that Asus provided to ensure a smooth transition into Win10.. How about this one, my touchpad stops working about 3 minutes after I boot?! And that I was willing to live with because I use a USB mouse anyway. But this picture is getting worse and worse as time goes on. I don't get it... I never pictured the day Windows would crash and burn. Cause if I'm having trouble, there's no way less tech-ey people will deal with this nonsense at all.

I have an Asus ROG computer and WinX works perfectly fine on it. Updates and everything. The only issue I have had was an Nvidia developer testing in production (They got some major flak from that). Nothing else has really gone wrong.
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???

I'm going for one last try, it looks like bad RAM may also exhibit some of the problems I've had. Started to get weird ghosting in the boot screens and a growing number of BSOD's. So that may resolve my issues. Then I'll just have to sort out the touchpad driver conflicts (or whatever is going on). Maybe do a fresh install of Win 10 rather than using the upgrade from Win 8.1. And most importantly get that Calc back in action. Hopefully eventually this will work.

I have 24 GB RAM in my machine. Bad RAM would cause issues, as would a failing hard drive. Hope you get it working soon.

..but you had to try Windows :rolleyes: A low-level format of the disc will remove Windows, after that you can install OS :)
