Dark Warhawk Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 For the most part they are gone; I can only think of twice it has happened. Once when I updated alcohol 120% and enabled the virtual drives it blue screened on me, to make matters worse I could not even boot not even in safe mode. To say the least I was a bit miffed. The other time is with Madden 2004 which I believe was due to the refresh rate fix, since I took it off no blue screen with it. Aside from that, all is well in PC land.

John Veteran Posted November 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2003 i've yet to see xp crash from anything other than bad drivers. i used beta nvidia drivers a few times, and those were the only times i ever had xp crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveMasterT Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I've had BSODs since day one while using both Pro and Home (I'm using Pro now). I'm STILL trying to figure out the codes. My drivers and bios are up to date and my memory is ok. My hardware is ok, although one of the error codes points to a piece of hardware the I DON'T EVEN HAVE. I have a nice collection of pictures of my BSODs. I am SO GLAD I got that Canon S400.A list of BSODs from the last 2 weeks or so: 101-0166 page fault in non paged area stop: 0x00000050 (0x86bf92a0,0x00000000, 0x8051a181, 0x00000000) ......... this sounds liek you have a driver problem. i would roll back your computer to the point before where it was making these errors. i was getting a lot like that and i traced it back to my graphics card. the drivers for it were so messed up and stuff, but then i corrupt my hard drive with partition f-ing magic and had to reformat. with the newest drivers, ive yet to have any problems. i would look at recently installed software and hardware and see what the poop is.

Phil Gates Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 yeah, a few. the first day retail came out i bought it (i played with the beta builds too now, but it was a solid product in the end so i was one of the first at the door :D) i went to change my screen saver, and i got a BSOD i think it was. that or explorer crashed. i can't remember, but it was :wacko: i've gotten a few BSODs regarding windows media player too. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexess Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 few BSOD's when i first built my computer (as the components were new and so were the drivers)..everything's rock solid now...little quirks here and there, but nothing a restart cant fix :) i never really had a problem with bsods, even in '95/'98 days... so, yes, i can gladly say im bsod-free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aem4162 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 this sounds liek you have a driver problem. i would roll back your computer to the point before where it was making these errors. i was getting a lot like that and i traced it back to my graphics card. the drivers for it were so messed up and stuff, but then i corrupt my hard drive with partition f-ing magic and had to reformat. with the newest drivers, ive yet to have any problems. i would look at recently installed software and hardware and see what the poop is. The BSODs started pretty much right after I installed Pro. I've done 3 installs since I got Pro this summer and the problems persist. I've had it to the shop for testing, I've tested it and the memory, mobo, and cpu check out fine. I don't have any other memory, cpus, or mobos laying around to swap out parts for testing. The problems were there then I had Home installed on a different system (mobo, cpu, ram, video, sc...). I don't know why stuff is so ****** up. Every other computer I've built over the last 8yrs has worked and I think I know what I'm doing. I just got another diagnostic program so I'll see how that works. Memtest86 didn't come up with anything but I'll run it again when I go to bed. thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberKewl Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 XP has been pretty good to me so far. I had a few BSODs, but they were all in the past and usually it has something to do with a faulty driver or hardware nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGeorge Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 No BSODs whatsoever. I've had one total freeze and one "windows has recovered" error. What are all these Halo BSODs everyone keeps talking about? I've had it since release and nothing like that has happened. Is everyone patched up? When does the BSOD happen?

DrunkenMaster Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I voted several times but really the only time I've had them was when playing games and getting the stupidly annoying IRQ_less than error. I don't play as many games now. I haven't had a bluescreen since XP came out which was non-game related. Its much improved - Windows 9X was bloody annoying for BSODs.

JonathanVP Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I've experienced BSOD when my 7,200 rpm drive would overheat. Other than that, the BSOD under XP has been a rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
