Now you can spot dead/stuck pixels better...
I know the pain. Mostly will be partial lit sub stuck pixels. Super common and not considered as defect. :D

But see how professionally was it done! You record where the exception has occured and then you just contact your representative!
Thing is, you honestly expect the secretary to remember any of that, and not just go yelling at local IT for what to do with no context?

OS/2 had a black screen of death, lol

It looked like this:

That reminded me of Duke Nukem 3D randomly crashing on my first custom PC, a super socket 7 with an AMD K6-2 450 Mhz and 128 MB of SDR SDRAM. I found out later on that it was flaky! Later on, or around the same time, I also got random Windows errors and I think it's a CPU issue, because oddly, my Athlon T-bird 900 Mhz CPU with the same poopy Deer DR 250 ATX PSU, wasn't unstable like that! (after I moved to socket 462 for the first time) The system was considered defective, because it would get flaky, just because the bedroom was warm. At stock, it behaved like a major CPU core overclock!

Nooo what the fudge Microsoft :(

Blue color background was atleast relaxing in a ( there's a solution ) kinda way, and dosnt make you panic, the black background make it look ominous, and scary
XP's and 7's looked more ominous than 10's! 7's also seemed to render the screen slower than 10, which seemed to creep me out some, LOL!
I remember 2014, IIRC, when my Q6600, had "***STOP: 0x00000124" for a bus/interconnect error WHEA, when running blend Prime95. I was lying down near the PC and suddenly saw that BSOD!

Rainbow is too many colours for MS. They will probably change the text to black next so you even see the error code……….

MS - what error code? I don’t see a BSOD Just a plain black screen. Can’t be the OS ;)

Yeah, right and when everyone sees just a black screen they will think "This must be a power issue" and... MS could no longer be blamed. Ha, I know where this is going! Everybody, go check your cables! We have to stay prepared :]
