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.

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

The error screen that pops up on Windows 2000 and lower, whenever a fatal error occurs. Windows XP has a similar error screen, but it rarely pops up. That doesn't mean that Windows XP is a good OS though.
I was about to finish my homework when the god damned Blue Screen of Death popped up on the screen. From now on, I'm writing up my homework.

Only happens when things get real serious. Like a system overload, or when you download a corrupted file. Not this 'click one button and it happens' crap, or this 'Hey I was just browsing for a few minutes and boom! It flashed up!' shit. You guys are so stupid.
Asshole: Hey you! Help! The blue screen of death just popped up.
Guy: That's not a blue screen, that's just your desktop.
Asshole: No, because I was just browsing and then it flashed up.
Guy: N00b.
Asshole: I AM NOT!
Guy: Then suggest a better system.
Asshole: Uh...Linux?
