Brewzzin Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 My XP almost never crashes. And comparitively, with all the 9x versions of windows, its definitely, very much more stable. I practicly have no problems with it whatsoever and I'm not a "PC beginner". :p :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivers Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 (edited) :laugh: I must admit you are totally right about the blue screen being replaced by the "dreaded endless down-wipe of hell" although I get the latter much more I reckon than I ever got blue screens. btw Welcome to Neowin :) Edited October 27, 2003 by Rivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantmx Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sounds like you have a hardware problem, or don't know how to properly setup a computer. I have been running Windows XP since it came out, and the only time I have had any problems was when I was trying to install drivers that were not made for XP. Oh yeah, and 3D Studio Max, World Builder, Visual Studio .NET are all very basic apps that require nothing at all to run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 HTuttle: Alternatively, XP is a very stable system if not messed with. Unfortunately with unsigned drivers being the cause of more crashes than any other major contributing factor, people fail to understand the issue. I use XP as my primary OS. I play games, write code, develop in VB, run a proxy and web server, play media. Uptime so far: About 3 weeks since I last needed to reboot. How can you even make such a sweeping statement about Longhorn? It isn't even released yet, it is still work in progress, so of course it is buggy. Now, I have a plan. It may seem a little "out-tthere" to you, but lets give it a try. Shut your moth and get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKHelloNasty Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I generally run windows for 9 or 10 days before rebooting. Sometimes I reboot just because I dont think its good to keep it on that long, other times it seems a little slower, but I rarely ever have to reboot because of a crash.

Dick Montage Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 The guy has an opinion, fair enough. But he makes sweeping statements that are both unfounded and unresearched. It is not about agreeing with the majority, and I am certainly not going to defend XP purely because it is (one of the many) OS's I use. However, if someone has a poroblem with their OS, it's often not the OSs fault, but that of a third party process/application. Flaming him? Hell yeah I'm flaming him, he writes like a 10 year old kid. Come here and shoot your mouth off about anything technical when you haven't got the first idea is just asking for trouble. It's his first post and look how he presents himself. Face it, you neophytes ... All those thinking XP is stable must be PC beginners running very basic nerd games and not much more.

MadDog Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 oh the guy has an opinion and look what happens!he doesnt agree with the majority and gets flamed!! same old.. same old :whistle: I don't think he's getting flamed, just corrected. And starting off by calling everyone in the forum "neophytes" isn't the greatest thing to do and, in fact, XP is incredibly stable. Flamed would be people calling him a queer dumbass or something like that. If being disproven is your idea of "flaming" you need to try not being so sensitive.

I have XP a very long time and the percentage of crashes was 0,0%. Maybe it is because I were used to WinME, or XP just doesn't crash that much.

If he had backed his statement up then people might have been a little more eager to discuss the issue but people and posts like that arnt worth the effort.

LUTZIFER Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 lol, I run the bag right out of my XP, running power hungry apps, servers, etc. etc. and in 2 years, my XP has crashed maybe 5 times altogether, and that wasn't till after I installed Norton AV 2003, so I went a year and a half without a crash at all before that. Went back to McAfee AV though, now no more crashes. XP is quite awsome as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those thinking XP is stable must be PC beginners running very basic nerd games and not much more. 1. Are you that niave that you actually are comparing an OS that isn't even set to release until 2006? The alphas are not meant for the public and certainly not meant for some little kid who obviously has no idea how to go about troubleshooting a PC? 2. You ever consider that the problems that you have relate to other hardware/software issues? That they are the culprit behind all of your woes? I've been using XP since day 1 of the release and hardly see any crashes that would ever warrant such blatant ignorant comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ht990332 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 At least since the release of service pack 1, I've never had crash problems with xp that were not due to third party programs. The major cause of xp bsod's are corrupted ntfs partitions, unsigned drivers installed by firewalls or antivirus programs (believe it or not, even drivers installed by zonealarm, mcafee or symantec can cause crashes) and last but not least device drivers for display adapters that are not signed by microsoft. XPsp1 is as stable as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I like XP because it does almost anything that I need it to do, and if it don't then I just tweek it to. I never have it crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
