Yeah it does. I will see if it works. Funny how not everyone has an issue
either. I am guessing it’s related to possibly the chipset on the board or
something.

hen an application runs in fullscreen mode, it runs in "exclusive mode". That

So does that mean the game has control over the screen output?

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.

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.

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.
