The blue screen of death (BSoD)
BSoD (blue screen of death) is the worst type of error a computer can experience and is the last thing a computer user wants to see.
Getting the blue screen of death means that Microsoft Windows has encountered a critical error that it can’t recover from and the only recourse is to restart the machine. Windows will automatically restart the computer when it displays a blue screen of death by default.
What causes a blue screen of death?
A blue screen of death indicates that Windows experienced an error so severe that Windows must stop completely. This is also known as a “STOP error.”
BSoD or Bluescreen of death are typically caused by malfunctioning hardware or hardware driver issues. Regular software crashes usually aren’t enough to cause a blue screen. Take Adobe Photoshop, for example: if the application crashes, it will shut down without causing the entire Windows operating system to crash too.
Most of the time, when you get a blue screen of death you will see a STOP code that can be used to troubleshoot the cause. Given the fact Windows automatically restarts after blue screening, capturing the STOP code can sometimes be tricky.
