Would updating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 or 10 fix a blue screen error

[3rdWorld]

Windows 10 was terrible imo. It kept rebooting and crashing my computer.

I cant 'shut down' my laptop on win10, I have to put it to 'sleep', then yank out the cord. If I try shut down it simply restarts.

Oh ! My PC also gives me an error message with a blue screen. It's been a week now and I still don't know what to do.

just reformat and do a fresh win7 install

 

[Reflected]

Can't relate to these Win10 horror stories...

My shyt buttery smooth...

Game DVR you magnificent b*stard

lol Like 99% of the time, PC issues are caused by the user. I have been using Windows based computers since I was a child, no issues. The only truly trash Windows, was Vista. fukking Vista.

i tried this but ended up deleting it after reading it could be a virus/malware

It's not a virus used it for years when I was fixing computers cnet is probably the most trusted website for freeware lol they wouldn't do that.

just reformat and do a fresh win7 install

looked up what that would mean and sounds like more trouble than it's worth

What is DRIVERUPDATE?
The DriverUpdate, also known as DriverUpdate by Slimware Utilities, is a potentially unwanted application. Actually it has been recognized as a rogue Anti-spyware. This program intentionally displays bogus security alters on targeted computer. You should know that this DriverUpdate software is misleading application.

i'm not that computer savy but overheating sounds about right considering right before the blue screen messages started the back of my tower used to get unusually hot(though not so much lately..actually i already took a few notes of the blue error messages(for a potential repair guy just in case)i'm sure i missed a few things and it's not in perfect order but this what i got so far:

-something about IRQL not less or equal

-i was told to uninstall/disable antivirus,to try disk degragmentation and check for updat drivers(tried that and it always says they are up to date)

run CHKDSK/F check for hardware driver corruption


-a clock interrupt was not received on 2ndary processor with allotted time interval

Tech info:

Do you have a custom PC that you put together or a prebuilt? Whats the age?

Some possible things offhand

-Might need to do some dusting of the inside just to be sure it isn't overheating of components, typically CPU or Mem. If it was the GPU, it would like artifact first, and if it was Mobo, you
would know cause that shyt would just die.

- Possibly some corrupted drivers or a bios issue. You might be able to roll this back. You said you did a restore so I don't know how likely this one is.

My guess would definitely be something overheating, probably a dusty heatsink and fan on the CPU. Since you did a buncha software tests already, time to peek at the hardware.

Its your computer that was shyt, not Windows 10.

Windows 10 is easily the most stable windows release ever made.

I installed it when it first came out. They said it wasn't reliable. My computer isn't old.

Well something is wrong with your pc and i advise you to look into it. I've been using Windows since the days of 3.1 and i can honestly say Windows 10 is far and away the most stable OS Microsoft has ever released. The general consensus is the same.

Microsoft Windows 10

Feel free to stay on Windows Vista if it makes your feel better though...
