POLL: How often does Win10 BSOD on you?

[VirtualLarry]

Please include hard-freezes, and GPU recovery events that result in a reboot, rather than a recovery.

 

[KMFJD]

0 times in 4+ years

 

[Shamrock]

About twice a year.

 

[UsandThem]

I don't recall having a BSOD with Windows 10.

I've had some programs quit working (mainly Gigabyte apps back in 2016 or so), but it never took down the PC.

 

[pcgeek11]

Never, Not even one since it came out.

Knocks on wood....

 

[Shmee]

Only when testing not quite stable OCs. Once the OC is dialed in though, I am all good.

 

[ArisVer]

Never seen one in the last 3-4 years

 

[daveybrat]

Not a single blue-screen (knock heavily on wood) with my current Ryzen system.

 

[VirtualLarry]

I get hard-freezes, or at least, "monitor not wake" maybe every two weeks or so.

 

[GrumpyMan]

The only time it did last year was because of AMD graphics drivers.

Like, never, except for games that sometimes don't release the screen when they crash. And it's been a while, at that.

The easy answer there is "don't play those games."

Since fall sometime, I do occasionally have one or both of my monitors take a 3-second "nap" (goes blank, comes back up like normal) and think it's probably a recent Windows update that's doing it. My work PC does it too, and since it's a Ryzen 2700U laptop vs. my Intel/nVidia machine at home, I'm pretty sure I can't blame "crappy AMD drivers" or something.

Looking at the poll results, I guess I'd point out that "BSODs happen only rarely" means different things to people depending on whether their first experience with Windows was XP or Me.

It never has, even when I was having issues with my soundcard (Bios issue).
