Am I the only one flabbergasted at the sheer number of sleep-of-death and BSODs I'm now seeing on Win 10? Two different devices have nosedived in quality, and one's my Surface 3 tablet so MS can't blame the hardware on that one.

I'm having a ton of issues with an Asus laptop that worked perfectly on Win8 and now every time I open it after sleep it's a gamble if I'll get a BSOD or not with "FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE"

I put Windows 10 on an older Dell laptop and it's been a disaster. I like the UI quite a lot but it crashes at least once a day, sometimes more. Granted Dell says that model (Precision M4400) has "not been tested" for Windows 10, and the problem (surprise surprise) seems to be the video driver. I grabbed the latest driver for my card from Nvidia and it didn't really improve things.

I never seem to have the problems others do On my custom built machine at home I've had one BSOD since upgrading to 10 from 7 and that was when it was first released Our Surface Pro 3s and 4s at work have been terrible though, they've always been kinda flaky with 8.1 and 10; I hate working on them

I had tons of blue screens on a brand new home built PC. I tried everything, memtest86+ passed, every driver I could get my hands on was up to date, even ran driver verifier a few times to narrow down which driver it was. Turns out once I updated the BIOS, every problem went away.

I have been running Windows 10 Pro on my ThinkPad T420s since release last July and not had a single system crash. It goes to sleep when I close the lid and wakes up when I open it. No issues. While I have other issues with Windows 10 (the shitty "apps", Twitter and Candy Crush auto-installs on my "Pro" version) I am impressed with how solid it has been for me even on an old and officially unsupported machine.

  The T420 isn't listed as officially supporting W10 by lenovo. When I installed Windows 10 on mine the wifi would go out after it woke from sleep. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103535#thinkpad https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103535#thinkpad

    I just use the driver supplied via Windows Update. It works out of the box but there is also a driver update available if you manually upgrade the driver from device manager. Card is Intel Ultimate-N 6300 AGN Driver is 15.18.0.1 Date 30/04/2015 The only drivers I had to install were for the SD card reader (Ricoh) and an update for Audio from Lenovo as it is a later version than from Windows Update for some reason.
