Blue Screen of Death

n. common
Due to the extreme fragility and bugginess of Microsoft Windows,
misbehaving applications can readily crash the OS
(and the OS sometimes crashes itself spontaneously).
The Blue Screen of Death, sometimes decorated with hex error codes,
is what you get when this happens. (Commonly abbreviated BSOD.)
It is often impossible to recover cleanly from a BSOD. The blue screen of death can strike anywhere.
At the Comdex trade show, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates
encountered the Blue Screen of Death during a demonstration of Windows 98.
(He had a spare computer standing by).

Blue Screen Of Death

1) A tried and true method for ensuring people need to buy new hardware after smashing their keyboard and/or mouse into their monitor. This never resolves the problem but is highly satisfying if you can afford it.

2) Mandatory, unexpected, frequent and infuriating intermission for Windows users.

3) Herpes for your PC, flare ups are painful and hard-booting may temporarily relieve symptoms. Frequent system maintenance can help if you don't flare up during, which gets exponentially harder to do. No cure, working as intended.
1) I have lots of extra money so I bought a Windows PC. Now i can place a recurring order for keyboards! Yay, Blue Screen Of Death!

2) I almost won that game but WINtermission snuck up on me. I'm gonna go step into heavy traffic to calm down.

3) Dude, I'm havin all kinda Blue Screen flare ups. I need to defrag, scandisk and pop some antibiotics.

Blue Screen Of Death

(B)lue (S)creen (O)f (D)eath
Majroly happens on older versions of windows (even windows 1)
It happenes if you have like, 700 programs going at the same time.
Luckily, vista, windows 7, 8, and 10 (possibly xp?!) Has a safe mode so you can either go and repair/fix the file that got curropted Or you can just, not be an idiot and run over 9000 programs at once.
Friend: Blue Screen Of Death huh?
Me: The seventh time this week.
Friend: let me go over your house and see what is causing it.
(5 hours of repairing a file)
Me: Thanks dude!
Friend: NP. btw, have you concidered getting a MAC?
Me: Oh you mean the one that crashes 7 times each day?
Friend:.... shut up
