Hi everyone! New to the forum, found it trying to find a solution to my BSODs which are constant and driving me crazy! Just posted there, so I thought I'd post here and say hi too.
I'm definitely a computer geek and savvy enough to be dangerous. I'm not developer level knowledgeable, but I am tech support for most of my friends and family. I started dabbling in Linux a bit earlier this year to get my 10+ yr old laptop off Win 7 after EOL. Comfortable enough to do that, but there are definitely things about it that push my boundaries. (Always a good idea, right!)
After years of wanting to build a PC, I built my first one to replace my cable box and be my cable DVR a little more than 6 years ago. It ran Windows 7 and Windows Media Center and was a stud that performed flawlessly for that whole time. I was really happy with it! Building that was a lot of fun, and I'm sure I'll do many more over the years. Windows 7 EOL forced me to move onto Win 10, which motivated me to upgrade the hardware. That was back in March. The system worked well for about the first 5 days, and a random month + since. Outside of that, endless BSODs which occasionally prevent it from coming back online. Missed recordings and an inability to watch OTA TV ensue. Now with football seson starting, I really need it to be reliable. The wife is less than pleased
I hope I can get it stable soon.
I've loved the whole process through both builds. Its been a lot of fun, but these crashes are taking all of my fun away! Hopefully I can get back to enjoying it.
Well there's my novel! Looking forward to being involved here on the forum, hopefully I'm smart enough to help solve someone's problems.
