What is the 'blue screen of death'?

dave_fl

An error that can appear on computers running in a Windows environment. This includes even the earliest versions of Windows such as Windows 3.0 and 3.1, and still occurs in later versions such as Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 beta. Jokingly called 'the blue screen of death' because when the error occurs, the screen turns blue, and the computer almost always freezes and requires rebooting. Whenever Windows shows an error message in white text on a blue background, it is said that your computer is suffering the Blue Screen Of Death. May 13 00, 4:06 AM
