BSOD) The infamous white-on-blue text screen which
appears when
Microsoft Windows crashes.
BSOD is mostly seen
on the 16-bit systems such as
Windows 3.1, but also on
Windows 95 and apparently even under
Windows NT 4. It is
most likely to be caused by a
GPF, although Windows 95 can
do it if you've removed a required
CD-ROM from the drive.
It is often impossible to recover cleanly from a
BSOD.
The acronym
BSOD is sometimes used as a verb, e.g. "
Windoze
just keeps BSODing on me today".
