Nerd Rage: Windows 10
Does anyone else have constant crashes and freezes with this POS OS? When I boot up my PC it takes forever to become stable then if Win10 goes 30 minutes without mysteriously crashing and rebooting I'm amazed.

My system specs are below. It's a dual drive (identical drives) one for Linux and one for Win10. I know it's an older system but it meets and exceeds Win10 requirements.

Is anyone else having zero luck with Win10?

EDIT: Linux Mint runs flawlessly.

Spoiler!

10 has been far better for me than 7 was.


What’s running? Dropbox or anything?

The only software that activates on startup is Windows Defender. I could open Firefox with no other active software and surf the web and if it lasts 30 minutes without freezing and crashing I'm amazed.

It's frustrating because when it isn't crashing it's a really easy on the eyes, functional OS.

Idk man. I’ve had really good luck with it. I had On a laptop that it wouldn’t update windows or some shit and it got bitchy. I don’t really put up with shit at work, so I just started docking my tablet and nuked it at home. Works good now (of course). But that’s the only trouble I’ve had and I’m not sure it wasn’t a dell thing.

I’m no computer genius but I don’t think it’s a systemic program unless RAM becomes jammed up.

If it happens very often I’d nuke it and start over.

Nope. I used to get a few BSODs when it first came out but that was a long time ago.

Runs great for me on probably 7-8 computers I interact with, but I'm not trying to run it on older hardware.

I'm knocking furiously on wood even mentioning this, but where do people get these incessant problems?

I've heard BSOD since the 90s. I've had 2 MAYBE 3 in 20 years, usually when a piece of hardware like a HD failed.

That's like 5-6 different PCs and, what, 6 or 7 iterations of Windows? PC is almost always on over those 20 years, because I've had my PC as a DVR ever since the HDTV Wonder and Windows Media Center first came out.

I've had occasional bugs. Just a month or so ago, the WinUpdate labelled me as missing my OS Product Key. I took a deep breath and waited for BBs to start discussing the problem. Within a day or so the matter was resolved and Windows corrected their update.

Edge and Chrome have been pretty bad lately. Chrome hates Kinja, and Edge likes to lock up if you have too many tabs that auto-update and contain video. But even then, I can shut down a tab or two or switch between browsers to get what I want. Never get a full-on freeze.

I'm usually the guy people come to with IT problems and if I can't offer solutions, I can nudge in the correct direction to help them solve their own problems and I have no idea what is not jiving between this PC and Win10.

This is just a Hail Mary pass after YouTube, Tom's Hardware Guide, and countless other proposals that didn't work. It sounds like Win10 overall works but just not on this 11 year old desktop.

The weird part is that if I can get Steam and whatever game up and running before it crashes it runs find.

I'm just trying to determine how Win10 is working from users with no skin in the what I think game before I have to spend a small fortune replacing an otherwise perfectly functional desktop.

Have you tried other browsers? As I mentioned above, I'm noticing a lot of browser specific quirks in the past 6 months or so. Don't know if it's the phase-out schedule [ie, Flash] or the phase-in schedule [ie HTML-5], but they all seem to have certain protocols they aren't playing nice with at the moment.

Also, though you say the entire platform is Win10 compliant, have you checked Device Manager to see if anything is running on generic or legacy drivers?

Third thing, might try a uninstall and re-install of an offending program, with a thorough checkdisk session in between. There have been instances where critical parts of a program get written to bad sectors that haven't been IDed and sequestered on an older HD.

Windows 10 itself is fine. It's the most stable OS Microsoft has ever made. It's got to be something specific to your system. If it's most often related to Steam and playing games, then it's likely GPU related. Graphics hardware issues or a driver issue.

I was hesitant to like Windows 10 but it's really stable. It's not without some bullshit glitches but I really like the restore to fresh install feature. No muss no fuss.
