From DailyTech: As a tester of Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows 10, I feel to some degree a civic duty to stick it out through the rough edges. And thankfully, for the most part, critical bugs have been few and far between.
Few and far between, that is, except when it comes to NVIDIA Corp.'s (NVDA) experimental graphics drivers.
With Build 10041, which rolled out last week, Microsoft's pushed partner NVIDIA's GeForce 349.90 WQHL driver to at least some of the lucky testers. Despite the allure of DirectX 12, I remiained rather wary of these new drivers. After all, with Build 9926 I had suffered continual freezing, black screens of death, blue screens of death, and error popups until I rolled back the snakebitten GeForce 349.65 WQHL dirvers.
So when those sporty new GeForce 349.90 WQHL drivers started flaking out on me, at least I knew what -- or who -- was to blame.
I'm not alone. A number of users on NVIDIA's GeForce Forums have reported experiencing crashes and BSODs. But the part about my experience that's worth noting is that unlike many of the users in the GeForce Forums thread I'm experiencing these crashes without ever firing up a DirectX PC game.
