Gaming been wondering about this???

what the heck does the acronym BSOD stand for? I've seen many times now and sitll can't put 2+2 together. I Imagine me saying...."ohh yeah, ...duhhh.....why didnt I know that?" when i find out what it is. I really didnt know what forum to post this in either...sorry if its in the wrong spot

ppl have already posted.. but its so much fun to type it.. now that I no longer get them in Win2k =)

Blue
Screen
Of
Death

edit: I should also add.. It was called this.. b/c no matter how many time you hit the space bar to continue.. it was a moot point.. The system was dead.. any information you were working on was gone.. and the only solution was a 3 finger salute.. CTRL+ALT+DEL =)

I almost thought of using this as my screen name, but I remebered my current one from a joke at my old tech job.

I have seen it one time with XP!!
It was a NT-bootscreen-alike screen, looked just like the bootup screen but then with error message.

bump up your processors speed a bit too high and you'll see it. it's real pretty, I know I've seen it as a screensaver. would be a good practical joke, I think it was at tucows.com.
