a little forum searching and found this explanation why windowed mode
doesn't crash, Windows 10 is still in charge of your drivers instead of
relying on the game.
When an application runs in fullscreen mode, it runs in "exclusive mode".
That means it has full and direct control over the screen output.
But when it runs in window mode, it needs to send its output to the window
manager (windows explorer) which then manages where on the screen that
output is drawn. This takes some additional performance. The performance
penalty, however, is greatly reduced in newer version of windows.

Yes you can go fullscreen or windowed. I set it to windowed and made it
fill the screen. It seemed to be okay last night it will be interesting to
see if it has crashed when I get home tonight.

Is there a non-Windowed mode for MineCraft? I guess I've never seen that
or looked for it.

So I my Minecraft game still crashes but I found something that might be a
workaround for Win10. I ran the game in windowed mode last night and it
didn't crash. So I will test some more. I have heard of people fixing some
crashing issues that way. Anyone got any ideas why that would work?

Yeah finding the right time is the key. Window reporting is not as robust
as you would hope, even on servers it's ok. I don't know of after market
one though.

I did the same thing this weekend.
I'm running into similar issues with my dual 290x's and gigabyte board. I
get hard freezes while playing games. I initially thought it was the
insider preview builds of windows 10 that i'm on, reverted back to retail
windows 10, still freezes. Did a clean install, driver updates, etc. Same
issue.
I think i'll follow your lead and go back to 8.1 and see what happens.
I don't get any BSOD or error codes. The screen just goes black, secondary
screen remains but everything is frozen.

MS have a new Win10 version of Minecraft that you can DL from the store.
Normal ver worked for me though in sli.
Any error codes with your crashes? And are these app crashes or OS?

night doing that, Crashing continued.
I said "Oh fiddle sticks" and installed Windows 8.1, SLI'd the cards. So
far it ran Minecraft all night and no crashes. You would think with
Microsoft Owning Minecraft that they might want to make sure it works with
Win10.
I am sure i have some weird combination of hardware in this system that is
the issue, because my ATI laptop works fine and can play minecraft.

I use the onboard video to drive my second monitor without issue.
It is funny to watch games like hearthstone have a moment as they get
handed off to the Intel graphics when I move Windows from the SLI.
