I've never had a PC crash on my in my years of using one!

Am I lucky?

You are super lucky. You have no idea about all the Problems I have had. I have had many problems Including:

 

Taking a long time to detect an ethernet cable.

Failing to update.

Unable to reset windows 10

Graphics Driver errors with Windows

Nvidia OpenGL Driver crashing

Chrome crashing a whole ton of times

Almost had System32 deleted at one point.

And a whole load of other stuff which I don't remember. 

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I've never gotten a BSOD on my home computer/laptop. In fact, the last computer that I got the BSOD on, was when I installed the driver disk for my ASUS 7770.

You have to put a timeframe on the poll!

 

In 25 years of building I've had many, many more than 10 crashes, a large number of those were before the phenomena of the glorious blue-screen.

 

After the driver fixes for Vista ... I was a relatively early adopter, via upgrade instead of new install ... maybe 10 since then, all caused by faulty drivers except for one bad stick of ram.

 

Haven't had a BSOD on my last 2 computers. (But now that I have said that my house will have probably burned down)

10 plus because I like to tweak things and overclock and edit system files for more performance.

When I had my Frankenstein's Laptop From Hell, I'd get BSODs when I least expected it.

 

F*cking hell that craptop kept me on my toes. It was like someone who doesn't care about cars getting a junker, and then growing to like cars due to all the f*cking bullsh*t it throws their way. Basically what happened to me with that thing... But I digress.

 

With my properly home-built PC, never had a BSOD or any equivalent. I haven't really pushed this thing to the limits though because of time and laziness.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

If you don't get crashes, you obviously never found the true wall of your systems performance.
