When you hear about the blue screen you realize how stale that
data is.

Yeah, don't think I have seen one in years.... and I run a lot of
programs on my little win7 laptop at one time. Typically I may be
downloading a movie, and converting another to avi while running a
graphics program, a web design program, and surfing the web... all at
the same time. Might start Word or Flash during that run too. I shut
down, maybe once a day, sometimes not for days...

I have four XP machines here running 24/7/365 and they never crash.
The only time 2 of them usually get booted is when the power is off
longer than the UPS will hold them and then they go down hard. They
come right back.
Occasionally I will do the updates and that may or may not reboot
them. I don't have hangs, crashes or other maladies tho. If I did, I
would look for a hardware problem.


If you enter "BSODs on Windows 7" you get 59,000,000 hits. That's 59
million. Stale data, indeed.

Yup 59 million hits saying basically the same thing


"Determine if you changed anything recently. The most common cause of
the Blue Screen is a recent change in your computer’s settings or
hardware. This is often related to new drivers getting installed or
updated. Drivers are software that allow your hardware to communicate
with Windows.[1]

Because there are essentially an infinite number of hardware
configurations possible, drivers can’t be tested for every possible
setup. This means that sometimes a driver will be installed that
causes a critical error when communicating with the hardware."


... What Wayne said.



I don't know "what Wayne said," as he is down in my bozo bin with
slammer, earl, and Billy Bruce. I'm sure slammer is keeping everyone
down there properly entertained.

Wow. Wayne got there before me.
Who is Billy Bruce?


You're on the cusp!


Why would you put Wayne there?
