This week using Vista, TuboBoost function on a USB drive then writing a file to the same drive. Good night Baghdad! Ka-boooooomb

About a month ago when I installed corrupted bluetooth drivers

I'm in much need of a computer geek who can help online

I can't stand these bsods i get all too often..
I end up saving every 20 seconds in games, and such because of it all

I've only gotten those random restarts that say "Windows has recovers from a serious error". (Which Wikipedia says are actually BSODs that go away fast)

Haven't had one in awhile. Last time I think was when I was trying to get a Saturn emulator to work like 2 months ago.

For you Mac and Linux users, when is the last time you had a kernel panic then?

As for me, I can't remember the last time. For those having random BSOD, as you should be able to see from this thread, about the only reason you'll get them these days is due to bad Hardware/Drivers. Possibly the best advice I can give for PCs in the future is make sure you have a quality power supply (Antec/Thermatake etc.., newegg lists a 550w Antec at US$100 with a quick look, this is not unreasonable) as this is one of the biggest causes of hardware failure/issues, and is often difficult for people to diagnose as a problem.

BSOD?

Black Screen of Death

I only get them when I emulate windows, I hear vista has lots

 

[Destructobot]

I used to get them every month or so with Windows 9X, but since switching to XP years ago, I think I've only gotten one.

BSOD?

Blue Screen Of Death.

 

[jalaneme]

oh that, yeah i got that a lot on my old PC (why didn't you just say blue screen of death? OP) it was so bad that i just threw it out and smashed it up, the pc was like 5+ years old and the monitor and components were faulty anyway, i got a new pc after that lol

4 or 5 years ago.

It was a crappy PC running Windows ME. :'(

I only got them when my over-overclocking of my graphics card had buttsecks with WoW critical errors from running 2 clients at once

About a year ago. Why does a BSOD happen?
