1) Installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 2) Upgraded to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers 3) Noticed a symbolic link issue with the NVIDIA drivers 4) Followed instructions to fix it from an Ubuntu group 5) The "fix" screwed everything up 6) Reinstalled the whole operating system out of a lack of interest for fixing the issue by hand (without deleting the two other partitions) 7) 10 minutes later, back to square one with all of the settings intact. 8) Awesome.

Ahahahahhahahah. Try Manjaro, you have proprietary there on install ;)

William Poaster
Don't worry, he'll screw that up as well.

Seems that he has lot of problems, yet he claims he installed Linux in 90es ;)

Hey, not long ago several of the "advocates" were whining Windows 10 kept bluescreening on them. Hey, Slimer included. LOL!

I never saw system crash on Windows 10, to be honest.

I wish that was the case with my wife's new laptop. BSOD seems to be one of its favorite applications.

If this is a new machine you need to contact support and have them work it out. This is not normal for Windows 10, especially on a pre-loaded box.

I had the same behaviour from a new machine and it was the result of software they bundled with the said machine. I would bet anything that if anyone experienced the issue and called MSI to let them know about the problem, they would have kept them on the line for hours and never actually solved the issue. Otherwise, they'd have to admit that the unpleasant consequence was a result of their own incompetence.
