blue screen, what blue screen?

if youve used windows Me or lower (98,95) then you know what a blue screen is. and when you see it, you know exsactly what it means....the blue screen of death. and you get them a lot with lower windows, a crash here a crash there, fatal exception errors...well most users are familiar with those. now windows 2000....it will run for months without even a scqeek. i mean NONE. its is highly stable, great to use, very fast, secure for businesses, or even for home users with a network or even in one computer you can encrypt a file and only you can use it. it handles multiple users very well. once you use it you can never go back to anything else. now you might want ot get XP because its newer, but even XP doesnt quiet live up to 2000Pro's  standards from what i have experienced. now its gotten the third service pack that you can use it for almost anything. Gamers would find it quiet great for gaming on, though it may not have been designed for this it certainly handles my Diablo 2 very well. do not be afraid to get this one for one bit...

Lots of issue (i have installed the last Bios and drivers) :
Sometimes USB's devices are not enabled, the automatic overcloking make blue screen and none of my USB's sound card works correctly (lots of glitch).

It turns bluescreen every time when using any of the Gigabyte drivers or utilities, called Xtreme,easyboost,and Vbios. But there's no problem with Nvidia drivers. :(

This won't play Blu-Rays on my laptop. It gives me a BD-Advisor fail, although I have a top of the line quad I7, dual video card laptop.  Installed all their supposed 8.1 patches, still no luck.  I would avoid this product until there is a fix.  I really don't care if its Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia, or whomevers fault; this product needs to work properly before it goes beyond Beta phase or there needs to be a BOLD disclaimer before purchasing.

ROM initialization error on startup.

Can't install driver for VGA controller if you try to use the setup CD.

Crash on shutdown.

BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) if you try to dock it.

It is definitely not for you if you use a Lenovo ThinkPad.

As long as you're comfortable shutting down every time you need to plug or unplug it. About 50% of the time when I plug this device in it causes a blue screen of death on my windows laptop. I get a BSOD almost 100% of the time when I unplug it. Contacted support and was first directed to try a 4K HDMI cable, once I explained that it's a blue screen of death AKA windows crash, not an actual problem with the screen being blue I got the "problem is with your computer" standard story. I've hung on to it as it's getting the job done but I'm also looking for an alternative that works better.

Additionally sometimes I have to plug / re-plug the power go get the monitor to be picked up.

Update: After the last 2 cumulative windows 10 updates this thing is actually working pretty good now. After the first one it stopped crashing every time I plugged or unplugged it but started flickering if my computer went to sleep requiring a disconnect / reconnect to fix. The next windows update seems to have resolved almost all problems. Both windows updates listed various fixes for USB C devices. The only issue still remaining is that from time to time I have to unplug power and re-plug to get the device to pick up HDMI. Not such a big deal for me.

Awhile back I had purchased an upgrade to ME for my 98se machine, thinking that it would run OK even though everyone that I talked to that knew what they were saying said that it was the worst. I happily installed it, restarted a couple times for my hardware to configure itself, and watched my computer blue screen after about 5 minutes of personalizing my settings. At first I thought it was an id10t error (idiot, haha), so I ignored it, rebooted, and continued to be appalled at the frequent number of crashes and bugs Microsoft loaded this hunk of junk with. Half a day later, 98se was back on my machine and normal as usual. The end.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and it has been extremely frustrating that entire period.  I could count the number of weeks without a blue screen on one hand with fingers to spare.  Sometimes it blue screens as many as 4 times a day.  It has lead to total corruption of the OS requiring a reinstall.  It has no common denominator in terms of programs in use or general load.  I have run multiple varieties of malware detection programs with no success.  The blue screen itself indicates a hardware fault.  This was right out of the box, and I will never spend money on another ASUS product when this is their quality.

I bought this drive to upgrade my girlfriend's computer.  OS installed fine and everything seemed good but after one day I started getting random BSODs.  Any time the computer goes to sleep, blue screen.  Any time you try to move a large file, blue screen.

The computer is all fairly new, just a few months old.  I built the original out of all new parts, but used my old 200gb hard drive.  It ran fine on that drive for months.  The new hard drive has been the only hard ware change.

I updated all my motherboard drivers with no success.  TRIED to use Western Digital's diagnostic tool.  The quick scan tells me that the hard drive performs fine.  If I do the extended scan though, it blue screens a couple hours in.  I have tried running it 3 different times.

Gave this drive the benefit of the doubt, but it's obviously crap.  This is the first hard drive in my life I have ever had go bad on me, out of maybe 30 drives I've ordered personally and for work.

A side note- the drive came in a box with NO padding.  I have never seen a drive ship like that before, it's also the first drive I've purchased from Amazon so apparently that's how they like to ship computer hardware.  No bubble wrap or anything, just a drive sitting in a small box.  So I'm not sure whether to blame Western Digital for the crappy drive or Amazon's crappy shipping.

One plus though is that I ordered it in the morning and got it the very next day.

Had to return it.  Upon initial setup I experienced blue-screen crashes, after it kept happening I tried a hard reset and Windows repair tools, and somehow it only got worse.  I understand that defective products happen, but even when this wasn't crashing it felt very slow just running chrome with two tabs open.  Not one of Acer's best, I'd say.  I gave it 2 stars because I think it COULD have been a decent value if it wasn't defective, but after that experience I decided to try a slightly more expensive laptop ($200 ASUS E402MA 14", which I love so far).

The "Blue Screen of Death" occurs only with the Windows operating system--when the system freezes or crashes.  The "blue screen" referred to here is an anomaly unfortunately occurring when some users who already have a particular third-party system modification choose the "upgrade" method of installation of Leopard.

Started getting dozens of bluescreen errors at random intervals (with many different error messages) over the course of the past week in Windows 10.  After a lot of stressful investigation, narrowed it down to memory (a pair of these 16GB modules bought 4 months ago).  One of the two modules died (as confirmed by memtest86 testing each module individually in the same slot).

The specs on this laptop are awesome, but when I turned it on and started loading my programs it started to freeze, then the BSOD. I don't remember the last time I had a BSOD. So I did everything I could short of formatting the hard drive and SSD and reinstalling windows. This included restoring windows to factory, updating the BIOS and all drivers and the problem still existed no matter what I did. I contacted the seller and they basically said tough S***. If I can fix this problem it might be a decent laptop, but if I can't, its $900 down the drain. I would say stay away from this laptop and seller.

Could never get it to work...PC had BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) at boot up.  Tried both PCI-e slots, same BSOD.  When I removed the card, PC booted properly.

I ordered this product and installed it via the web, no CD and also had Norton on my computer, it tried to uninstall Norton and never completely was installed due to this and now my computer has a blue screen given me an error code 0xc0000185 on my Toshiba and I've tried everything to have it fixed, blue screen stays on and I can't even restore to my factory setting on my computer...very unhappy with what has happened, I've wasted 2 days trying anything and everything I can find on the web to have this fixed.
