White Screen of Death

The screen that appears if you are curious enough to watch a VHS tape beyond the credits. It shows a screen after a few minutes of a blank screen, usually white or black, and has a beep noise like in a test pattern. They usually show up for a few minutes and then goes back to a blank screen, or continues until the tape is ended by static. No one knows what the purpose of them are as of yet. I guess they had to be cheap, they could of just showed a screen saying "End of VHS tape, please press stop" but no, they had to show something irritating and horrifying.
TV: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"

Friend: "What the hell is that noise?"

Me: "Oh, its the White screen of death, I forgot to shut the VHS off, I guess it woke both of us up. That movie was boring."

Friend: "Whats a White Screen of Death?"

Me: "Its what is on the TV right now, no one knows what it means."

Adult: "It means the movie is over! Damn, you kids don't know nothing!"

Me: "No, there has to be a more logical explanation for them!"

Blue Screen of Death

a simple error that happens to morbidly outdated or cheap PCs.

The solution to this is to restart the computer.

This particular error message has been hyped up by Mac users to legendary proportions.
i personally have experianced the Blue Screen of Death once in the last 14 years of using PCs.

I do not know anyone who experiances this error message on a yearly basis.

It happened when i got a major virus because i didnt get any antivirus.

White Screen of Death

The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".

A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.

blue screen of death

a cruel joke played by bill gates. a blue colored screen that appears whilst using any of the windows operating systems, whether you have done something wrong with the computer or not. it prompts you to press any key to return to windows, or press ctrl alt del, but generally neither work. therefore your computer "dies" and it makes you want a mac even more every time you get the blue screen of death.
fuck you bill gates
windows is fucking gay

what the fuck, the blue screen of death sucks ass. what a great idea to have an operating system with so many holes in it that crashes your computer all the time.

Grey Screen of Death

The Grey Screen of Death is another term for the "Disk Read Error" message on PS2}'s. This screen more or less means you have to return it to the store and get a new one or you can disassemble it yourself and do something to it but I've never seen it done personally, I had this on my first PS2 but I returned it and they threw it in this big pile they had of PS2's affected by the Grey Screen of Death.
Not the Grey Screen of Death! Great! First my XBox 360 gets the Red Ring of Death, then my Windows 95 computer gets the Blue Screen of Death, and THEN my iPod gets the White Screen of Death and now THIS!!
