Title: Bluescreens of Death.
Post by: Whinp on June 11, 2013, 09:54:33 pm

I hate them. In Saturday I got the first ever in my computer, and a bit ago I got again. AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A IMPORTANT WORK AND I LOST EVERYTHING.
I'm furious now.
>:C
I'm gonna erase the computer if this keeps happening.


Your opinions about Bluescreens?

I think they shouldn't be random.

I'm not sure what you mean by "they shouldn't be random", but they are and always will be. It's not like it's going to warn you if something goes wrong; it's always unexpected.

I think they can be a little annoying at times, though I don't get them on this new computer I'm using. On my older one, I would get them pretty often.

Oh, this computer has like 7 years old and the drive disk is a bit glitchy (something is taking memory from it) so i will need to really erase :/

Bluescreens may indicate two things:
1. A bug in kernel-mode program (device drivers, operating system itself, some [anti-]virus software)
2. Hardware malfunction
The problem with kernel-mode programs is that they have unlimited access to your computer, and can do unlimited damage to you data or hardware if something goes wrong. So it is safer to stop the computer and show bluescreen rather than deal with unpredictable consequences of a bug in some driver.
Broken hardware is just broken hardware. Most computers designed to expect hardware to be ok.
