For the second time this week I start up my PC and I get greeted with
a Blue Screen of Death.

.... Windows has shut down to protect your system bullshit...

Followed by

.... a process or thread has blah, blah, blah.

Well, lets see, how about the usual suspects?

1. Have I added new hardware? No.
2. Have I installed new software? No.
3. Have I installed any new Windows Updates? No.
4. Have I changed anything in the Registry, tweaked anything? No.
5. Have I picked up a virus, worm or trojan? My anti-virus says no.
6. Is there any problem showing in Device Manager? No.
7. Is there anything listed in any of Vista's Event Logs? No.
8. Did rebooting repeat a BSOD, confirming there is a problem? No.
9. I run a memory test. Nothing wrong.
10. I run chkdsk on all drives. Nothing amiss.

So what is it? A growing reality that Vista is little more than a
unstable, quivering mountain of bloated, poorly written, unpredictable
code that can and often does crash for no real reason other that IT,
meaning Vista is crap, causing millions of customers all over the
world to curse Microsoft daily.

Bad enough you get a BSOD. When you start getting different BSODs at
random, for no reason, and you haven't added,removed or changed a damn
thing on your system and nothing gets written to a event log, then the
system like magic is fine again after rebooting, by process of
elimination there is little left to suspect other than a buggy,
unstable, next to useless operating system that simply can't be
trusted for anything critical.

Gates and Ballmer can shove Vista as far up their arrogant asses as
they can get it! I suspect they already know Vista is this fu*ked-up.
That explains why they're racing to finish Windows 7 in record time.
 
Hello Adam,
We have 3 Vista Home premium machines here networked and no issues. Evidently if Vista was a bloated pos as you mention it would fail for everyone. One of the reasons you cite may well be your 'fix'....try applying Windows updates. Also have you made certain you have Vista compliant drivers for all your related apps,hardware and graphic cards? Probably not. Have you installed Vista SP1? Many like you already had hosed systems before installing Vista -or- hosed up an OEM Vista box and then blame Bill Gates for your own screwed-up pc(s).

Oh God, just what I need, a newbie trying to tell me what's wrong.
LOL!

I have ALL appropriate Windows Updates installed.
I have current drivers for all hardware.
I have SP1 installed.

And oh, by the way, I have over 40 years computer experience.

What part of 'my system is otherwise stable' and has been since I
built this system and installed Vista over a year ago didn't you
understand?
Yes you may well have a bonafide Vista performance issues..however 90% of the time it is cockpit error and the lack of Vista compliant drivers. Take a deep breath, take 3 steps back, and methodically troubleshoot your issues. Pissing and moaning on the newsgroup will not get your issues resolved since all you did was rant....and I saw no request for help. So STOP YOUR BITCHING!

I'll bitch all I want. That's what this newsgroup is for. Clearly if
you knew anything you would already know it for sure isn't the place
to get help, my top posting friend. The typical "help" seen here is
like the useless self-serving slop you just posted.

Oh, its third party something, oh, you don't know what you're doing,
oh, did you install updates, troubleshoot, blah, blah, blah. Well pal,
AFTER you do all that and I did, and Vista still wants to generate
random BSOD's out of the blue, then after rebooting is stable with me
changing nothing and then Vista runs for 14 hours straight without any
issues at all the logical answer points to Vista internals being
screwed up. I mean it isn't like that never happened before. Windows
history spanning two decades is littered with coding blunders (many
sooner or later that Microsoft admits to) that jump out randomly and
bite users in their butt. I guess you don't know that.

Every time you post you are crying out for help. Let us know where
you are and we can send help immediately.

Actually your problem sounds like bad ram. Random core dumps
are a classic symptom.

Nice try charlie but you'll soon find out you're dealing with our

Best to pay no attention to him. He hates MS and Vista and we can't
figure out why the *idiot* still uses it.

Well, at least you know yourself.
