• How many times have you gotten a BSOD?

Just wondering here.. how many (average/estimate) BSODs have you gotten? Amazingly I've only had 2-3 with XP, none so far with W7-in my computers life span of 3-4 years-. I'm sure there are people out there who kill themselves out of getting them 20 times a day.. Sorry for the short post, but its a short question.. :v: (If you noticed I changed the number, its because I remembered I had a few more with XP and- well you get the point.)
Over 20, last GPU failed hardddddd
~20 since 2005 i think... 2 with Windows 7 since July...
Plenty since my new build a few weeks ago. The 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for my 5770 seem to hate me. I'd estimate 20 or so.
Since I installed win 7, 0. Didn't keep track before cause I got so dang many with the stupid old dell before this computer.
In the last five years alone, probably 30+
~5. Yes. 5. That's since i've ever used a computer.
None on 7, 10 on XP before I sorted drivers
Extremely rare, which is why I hate the BSOD argument from any non-Windows user.
Rare here. Like 1 or 2 a year. I tend not to push my computer too much, and de-dust it once every 3 months.
Last week Windows decided to completely freeze on me, but no BSOD. I'll count it as a BSOD though, the effect was the same.
Within what time frame? Windows 7 I've had one and it was because I was trying out beta ps3 controller drivers. If we go back to Windows 98..too many to count.
0 until the L4D series came along and made my GPU overheat and go wacko, then they came and went on a regular basis. 20 tops on XP, for several years.

I used to get them a few times a week, back when I had my 8500, I've only had one or two since I switched to a 9500.
Only a few over the span of multiple years. The reason with so little is because I maintain my system correctly.
Only 2 or 3 over the past 7 years or so.
Had about 45 on Vista, terrible drivers for my hardware at the time. and 2 last week on W7 as my hard drive started to fail.
0 on this install of windows. Few times on vista, I actually liked vista.
I see them regularly, usually driver errors though. Althought often on computers that were given to me to fix because they were bluescreening, had 2 on my machines this year, and that was my fault.
Can't even begin to count. I've only has one Kernel panic on OS X though.

None. ever. But i'm not on the computer much, unless it's facepunch.
I had a terrible driver related issue a few months ago that I was having trouble resolving (turns out it was the driver for the modem. I was using USB at the time because I didn't have enough RJ45 heads to make a cable). I BSOD'd roughly once every half hour.

Around 10 I think. Never had any with my current vista install. Last one was at a net café called galaxy (some of you danes may know it), when I loaded up L4D the damn thing BSOD'd
My eee 1000he bsods about 3 times a day. once the quarter is over, i'm RMAing it over holiday break and getting a new one...
None with Windows 7, none with Vista and 5-7ish on XP.
Once. But I have a feeling it was just my BSOD screen saver, and the computer froze.
