So your BSOD may just be caused by a cosmic ray?

Perhaps we are giving M$ a hard time?
Linux still rarely crashes tho...

But that video is 23 minutes?

Do you have a TL;DR version?

Linux crashes as well, but it doesn't usually crash the entire system like Windows does. Although Windows doesn't have the blue screen of death very much anymore.

I think it sort of stopped during XP, I don't ever recall it on 7, and then it has restarted again on 10, where I've seen it a few times.

Seems like you can get a kernel panic in Linux, although it doesn't seem to be very common. Usually programmes just crash, but it isn't so much of a problem now as the autosave is really good now, and most of the software is pretty stable on the later versions.

You may not have had one, that doesn't mean MS changed the way their O/s reports an issue, BSODs remained in 7 and 10.

Yes more common on 10 than 7 I have found. Maybe just more cosmic rays now?

More likely those old computers you persist in running Windows on ?
I can't say I've seen a BSOD on either Hubby nor My laptops since they were purchased - His is about 4 yrs old and mine about 2.5 yrs old.
