Undefineed Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 hmmm i have to say... in the last year or so of using XP, i've not had one single crash that was actually software related. Also havin said that, the only crash i ever got was caused by some faulty RAM. caused windows to hang on booting...but once got that sorted out, everything became peaches and cream :). Must say, i am pleased with ms for making OP Sys that dont crash on what i do frequently with my computer :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigglesTheFish Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Can't remember the last time I got a BSOD on WIndows XP... I think the last time was with the horrid GeForce2 I had a long time ago. Overall I have found Windows XP to be damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted June 6, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 6, 2005 i think i got BSOD a few time, but long time ago. however xp did crash on me due to some programs - and i never got bsod or task manager - it would just hang. last time it happen due to updated winamp not wanting to play a large mp3 file. well i switched to foobar and never had a crash since. anyhow i think every 3 month would be a fair answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myxomatosis Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Rarely! Despite what they say, Windows XP is a very stable piece of software! Excluding the blue screens I got while overclocking / testing the stability of my system, Windows XP didn't crash for more than a year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athlonforce Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 had problems on my old computer with that but on this one it have only happens ones in 1 year and then it was my own fault :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEVER85 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Windows 95: Never Windows 98: Never Windows 2000: Once due to Norton PartitionMagic failing to partition the drive correctly. Aside from that, never. Windows XP: Same as 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamael Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Uhm...never...saw of couple of bsod's (irql_not_less_or_equal) but they were due to hardware problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NetRyder Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Once on my old P3 desktop back in 2001...when a friend unplugged a USB cable modem without using the Safely Remove Hardware option. Never had one since then - not on the desktop, not on the laptop. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oompa Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Never for me. I do plenty of risky stuff but I do plenty of scans and so forth and I have yet had a single crash. Although I had some problems with my internet and reformated my computer thinking it was me yet it was an ISP problem T_T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidiir Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I haven't had one in a very long time. The only time I did get one was because I did something dim-witted. Of course, by saying this, I'll try and print something tomorrow and lo and behold.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
