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

An error message that appears in blue and white on windows 95/98/2000/me/nt/xp/2003 boxes every time you: read a cd-rom/plug in a usb device/install new hardware/read e-mail/play solitaire/look for porn/listen to mp3's/click on start/change the background/chat over IRC/install any kind of new software/make 'backups' of windows Cd's to share with your friends/type word documents/try to get you fscking soundcard to work/calibrate your joystick/open 3rd party browsers like firefox/compile cpp files/keep your pc on for more than two minutes ect.

The problem is rarely caused by bad memory. the main cause is bad programming, whereby a program (usualy explorer.exe, but other virii are also known) ignores memory boundries and writes data to memory locations allocated to other programs, causing them to abort.
Windows caused a page-fault in module winsux.dll at 0x442298765, 0x656758958, 0x2234323434

An access voilation occured while trying to reference memory at 0x444567358

Unspecified error. Abort, Retry, Fail?

The White Screen of Death

not to be confused with The Blue Screen of Deaththe white screen of death happens when the BSD fails. there are only three ways for WSD to happen.
1)a projectile traveling at high speed smashes through your hard disk, however your pc does not crash, instead it enters a state of confusion, much like the human sensation of being really highon pcp or any other narcotic, which would explain the intense white light.
2)one of Microsoft's spying updates sees you downloading illegal content, prompting Microsoft to screw you.
3)a hammer is smashed into the screen or computer related object that is hooked up to a screen, however the screen and or object remains on, causing a white screen, this is also know as hammering your pc.
