It looks like they have enough room on that screen to explain the exact problem in English that five year olds could understand.

Lol.

Blue was more interesting; but it’s not my problem. I don’t use Windows.

Black Screen Of Death has the same acronym as The Blue Screen of Death. You're getting a BSOD any way you slice it. Thanks Microsoft.

[DiogenesLamp]

Microsoft revealed earlier this year that it was overhauling its BSOD error message in Windows 11, and the company has now confirmed that it will soon be known as the Black Screen of Death.

Another frivolous, no improvement "improvement" to the windows operating system.

I keep seeing every release of windows rearranging icons and layout, and other inconsequential stuff, but nothing in the way of actual improvement.

Does it run faster? No. Is it less kludgy? No. Does it do anything better than XP? No.

Maybe better security, but that only matters if you care about it.

So blue goes black?

Once it's on the Internet, it's always on the Internet.

And this as well.

They should make the color selectable...

If they are killing the “faulty system driver” execution, does that mean that no crash dump file will be created, eliminating the ability to understand what happened?

[Pikachu_Dad]

Now rainbow colored?

[TangoLimaSierra]

I was thinking, “Pink Screen of Angst”

[Cold Heart]

My first thought was this is from The BEE

I much prefer the Apple smiley face with the hidden message that you should submerge your iPad.

I’ve never had a blue screen of death and I’m sticking with the rock solid Windows 7. I tried Linux, but it seems more geared towards liberal geeks. I had trouble with my track pad and someone responded with 20 lines of code. I can’t learn computer hacking at my age.

Why don’t they just show a picture of a bunch of birds with the text “You Flocked!”

IMAGINE IF INSTEAD OF CRYPTIC TEXT STRINGS,
YOUR COMPUTER PRODUCED ERROR MESSAGES IN HAIKU...

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Having been erased,
The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: “File not found.”
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless more exist.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
“My Novel” not found.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Error messages
cannot completely convey.
We now know shared loss.

A couple of thoughts.

1. Isn’t the black screen of death racist? I am surprised that the NAALCP hasn’t complained. Associating computer problems and error messages with blacks.

2. It makes things depressing and horrible. It is not uplifting.

[SpaceBar]

Microsoft has always treated their customers as too dumb to understand anything other than clicking ‘Ok’ and ‘I agree’.

Even back in the DOS days a system error would result in an incomprehensible (and useless) memory hex dump with little or no useful diagnostic information.

[Bob434]

In many years of running Linux I have never had an equivalent b,ue screen of death. I had a few bad installs, lost the grub menu a few times, and lost the operating system altogether due to human error, but the computer locking up/restarting to another error message over and over 10- 30 times a day like u have had with windows 10 and 11. Windows 7 was great- I don’t even recall any bsod’s with it for years. I had forgotten about bsod’s UNTIL windows 11 rolled out, and even windows 10 worked fine until fairly recent updates, now it too is plagued with bsod’s like 11 is.
