michaelwolowski Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Anyone else having problems with the system consistently crashing after upgrading to windows 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxytes Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No issues so far here.What type of crashing are you referring to - auto reboot/blue screen error?Is it only during gaming (assumption based on alienware), or what are you doing when the issue occurs?If bluescreening, check your minidump folder (generally C:\windows\minidump) to see if anything has been written there, and use something like Windbg (or less preferable Bluescreenview) to decode them. more info here:BSOD Minidump - Configure to Create in Windows 10 - Windows 10 ForumsGenerally speaking, it could be a driver compatibility issue. If the minidump points to a driver, I would start with updating your drivers - e.g. chipset, video, nic, wifi etc etc.If you check Support | Dell US > put your service tag in or manually search your model > click drivers and downloads, and then on the right 'find it myself' - here you can choose your operating system. Youll notice with the Alienware 14 they have Windows 10 drivers listed there. I didnt check M14x yet - wasnt sure what model you have.Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddium Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I had so many crashes I gave up and downgraded back to Windows 7. It was never the same issue; surprisingly I could run longer if I booted up a game and played, but inevitably it would crash. By the end I couldn't last longer than 15 minutes, even in safe mode - I couldn't even update the drivers or analyze the minidump.I figure I'll wait a few more months for driver issues to get sorted out more before I try again. Did you come from 8.1 or from 7? I assume coming from 8.1 is a smoother transition than from 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntrer1cal Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I don't have any crashes but my discrete graphics card stopped working.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow85 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I had the same problem!!..I think it happened after a software update from Microsoft and the system was not stable anymore so fed up of it i decide to reset my pc and dowgraded to window 7. Window 10 is still full of bug not worthy yet.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilnet101 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The only crashing type issue I had was when I tried to do a lot of I/O between my 120GB and my secondary 1TB HDD which I installed in the optical bay. My secondary drive would become unresponsive and hang my system. I got round this by installing the intel RST driver provided on the dell site for the m14x - so far so good.

simonmpoulton Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 cant say i had any crashing issues with it on my m14x. One thing I would say though is ensure that you use the Dell drivers for things like the sound card and such as windows 10 can't help itself but interfere and putting incompatible ones there!
