not my laptop, but the family computer's 10GB hard drive crashed about 15 months ago

good thing that all of the important stuff was saved on floppy disks

just put another 20GB in there to replace it, thats all

I've never crashed this one.

Well - a few times i was changing the FSB from within windows, and went too high. I don't feel that should count though.

Last night was the first time in a long time. My wife tried to convert a document using Korean software - always a recipe for disaster.

I get blue screen crashes and/or rebooting from time to time (maybe twice a month), almost always as a result of my CPU overheating (it's running 933MHz over stock speed :p). As far as a crash that hasn't been caused by heat (or rogue drivers)...it's been a while. Long enough that I can't really remember.

I was going good for a few weeks until my brother fusked it up and I got the BSOD while working on a paper today. Gotta love Office's backup in case sh!t happens feature. Didn't lose a word *knocks on wood*.

My server and laptops have never ever crashed. Not even when the root disk on the server asploded a little over a year ago. It made some unpleasant noises and the kernel log was flooded with IO errors, but you'd never notice anything was wrong just by using the website or FTP server.

The main workstatation used to crash once in awhile due to bugs in the driver for my HDTV tuner, but those bugs were fixed a few versions ago.

Linux = teh king of stability

Hmm, I've had PROGRAMS crash, but I don't think my computer has crashed since I found a clock speed I liked. Obviously I run XP.
