I've viewed so many threads regarding the fabled 'Blue Screen Of Death' and was wondering if I was doing something wrong.....

See, i haven't had 1 single BSOD since I started using Windows 7 build 7000.

Has any1 else had as much good luck as I have or am I 1 of very few? :p

I had 2 since 7000b. Recently Memtest showed some memory errors because timings and voltage. That was probably the reason. Now fixed.

I have yet to see a single BSoD on Windows 7 as well. Now i have had my screen start flashing black, which wouldn't go away until i turned my monitor off then on, but i had that problem in Vista as well. I am starting to think that my monitor is getting sent the wrong refresh rates which causes the flashing of the desktop and a black screen, or my monitor is dying, even though it like 3 yrs old and is an 19" WS LCD. Oh well.

With 7201 I had a couple of black screen refused to start episodes.
Windows starup repair told me it could not fix the problem but it didn't happen again.

But you're right. Not one blue screen of death since I started with 7.:D

I had at least one BSOD with each build! (usually right after install)

For example with 7232 I had repeated BSOD's! I had to boot in safe mode and install the latest drivers for windows 7 from nvidia and realtek web sites! Now everything is working great! Those drivers bundled with Windows 7 need to be updated!

PS: With Vista64 I had only one BSOD in 1 year - because of a failed nvidia driver!

I'm happy to say I never had a BSOD in Windows 7. My last one was on XP while trying to install the Zune 3.1 Software. Windows 7 never went through that problem though.

I've had no BSOD's that can be blamed upon the OS. I've had several, but all my fault, not the OS's. They were all from overclocking too high.

The builds are built with certain sets of hardware as a basis. If you've got this basis, then the chances of a BSOD aren't as likely as if you're using hardware that wasn't included in the build testing.

But there's lot's of other stuff that can cause BSOD's - so consider yourself lucky! :0)
