The
Blue Screen of Death (also known as a
stop error,
BSOD,
bluescreen, or
Blue Screen of Doom) is an
error screen displayed by some
operating systems, most notably
Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down, to prevent damage.
Bluescreens on
NT-based Windows systems can be caused by poorly written
device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible
DLLs or bugs in the
kernel of the operating system could also cause bluescreens.
Bluescreens can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty
memory,
power supply issues, overheating of components, or hardware running
beyond its specification limits. Bluescreens have been present in all
Windows-based operating systems since
Windows 3.1; earlier,
OS/2 and
MS-DOS suffered the
Black Screen of Death, and early builds of
Windows Vista displayed the
Red Screen of Death after a
boot loader error.
I hope it helps!!!
