Thread: Share your OS crash incidents

Plz share the history of your OS crash if u remember. Especially after some fingering, registry tweaks, virus, installing some specific softwares....etc.
This will help others also.

My system crashed only once: I had Norton 2005 trial version. After uninstalling , windows crashed.
My OS is Windows XP (SP-II) now SP-III

It happened to me when I tried a Vistamizer in XP. Earlier, my OS used to crash once a month. Either a virus problem or bad sector issue. For last 2 months it is going fine. I changed all active paths to drive other than C and acquired some expertise in Firewall.

honestly my system has crashed umpteen number of times, most of those times I was running win 9x, and it never did give a reason as to why it crashed, and I'm told bill gates retired for dedicating his time for this very pupose. I'll get back to this thread, when results are out !

PS: Nice topic !

Hey sujithsukrutham...actually my computer is fairly new just bought it last march..and I haven't experienced it crashed on me ...even on my old one...I am using Norton anti virus too..what causes the crashing of the computer?

I did experienced that just recently..actually I am in the middle of something when it happen , and I was not able to save my work, I was pissed off..and I bet you understand what I feel during that time...

Once i was trying to install the drivers for the NVIDIA graphics card which i dnt own and my system crashed

I had a crash couple of days back due to file system error.........
I disabled the automatic disk check at boot time and continued for sometime....
Then the system began behaving odd..... Used to get stuck for minutes, took about 30 mins to write a dvd and so on....
Just did a fresh install and everything works fine so far....................

Well im using Windows Vista since year 2003 and there is not even single instance of crash to share with you guys.
