Windows has some video failures covered now by a
watchdog, and "VPU recover". If you see the screen
blink to black for half a second, go check the
Event Viewer, and you may find you've just had
a video issue.


How do you find it in Events...not so simple as:

zgrep -i "error|fail" /var/log/syslog*| grep SomeService


I don't have any games on Win10, so cannot comment
on how good the stability is now. I use low-end video
cards for builds, and haven't had a "good" video
card in some time. And the current price of
video cards, does not encourage doing anything
about that either.

Not had BSOD with Windows 10 yet. Card GTX970
