Ken: “..pretty much everyone have experienced BSOD at least once in their lifetime..” Me: * _remembers assambling cheap computers from barely working and mostly incompatible second-hand components in late 90s and early 2000s, and getting BSOD like 10 times every hour_ * Yeah, Ken, sure - at least ONCE in their lifetime...
“Pretty much everyone has experienced a bluescreen at least once in their lifetime” as a previous Windows Vista user I don’t know how many times I have experienced this.
There was that one time when I was using one of those blood pressure devices at the pharmacy and it blue screened right as the cuff was at its tightest, and it didn't want to let me go until someone reset the system. That was fun.
I remember back in 2019, there was a huge screen on the roads, that was used for advertisement. When waiting at the intersection with traffic lights, there's a screen on the left above near the traffic light. The ad was about a cigarette brand. Once the ad ends with a warning sign, the BSOD striked in and I laughed kinda hard. Lucky for me, the traffic light is still red, so I have time to calm myself down and waited until it's green. And that's all I got.
I once catched a BSOD inside a train, on those screens that display the next station. They use XP Embedded for that. Also, on some pre-release versions of Windows 2000 (and Windows ME) there's also a temporary Blue Screen of Shutdown. Now that's what I call a weird way to tell the user to turn off the computer... And on Windows NT 3.x and 4.0 there's the blue screen of boot, that got replaced with a graphical bootscreen in Windows 2000.
Screens in the trains in the Netherlands crashed on me once last year, but they didn't have their OS crash, only the train announcement software. So every screen showed a Linux terminal with "red hat enterprise Linux login" 😂😂 I also once saw a digital display for commercials kernel panic 🙄🙄
Bsod story: One time, when I was like, 6 or 7, I helped my dad fix his computer at work. (It was one of those "bring your kid to work!" Days.) I learned how to code at 5 years old. I'm 18 now. My family considers me the tech support, because I know so much about computers. :3 also, I built both of my parents current pcs.
I've seen BSOD's on kiosks, digital billboards, and even menu displays in fast food restaurants. But by far the most amusing was seeing a digital billboard while I was driving down the highway, and someone was connected to it via RDP and working on the Windows desktop for everyone to see.
The long awaited sequel, I get the blue screen when I turn off my computer. Really! This also reminds me of one time I was in Tesco and saw a 9x bsod on one of their handheld scanners, bit weird as there only new and you would think they would have windows CE
On my old windows 7 desktop sometimes I’d get a BSOD on shutdown (it would just sit forever and ever and ever on the shutdown screen before eventually just blue screening) even after multiple reinstalls of windows so I think it was a hardware issue lol. About four years ago the hard drive gave out which means that might have been the issue but the hard drive didn’t have any other symptoms of decaying which troubles me but idk, it’s fascinating nonetheless
@@paincreatesfame that was the problem on my mum's old prebuilt hp. Luckily, I somehow managed to get her important records and pictures off of it, and surprised her on her birthday with a windows 10 pc I built her, with all of her old stuff already on it. She was so proud of me. :3

This was like 2 months ago, I was at the local mall and was just shopping some goodies, and the machine for well, "gambling" or whatever it was, had a blue screen stuck on it. I do have a picture of it on my phone from that day. 1 week later it was fixed. It was a Windows XP-7 styled blue screen.
If "ALL YOUR RAM ARE BELONG TO US!" isn't worth a like I don't know what is. It's these details that made me subscribe in the first place. Well done sir!
I remember seeing a Windows (98?) BSOD on a big plasma screen at a local mall back in '98 or '99. You know, back when plasma displays cost as much as a small house. That display was set up outside of a music store and would blast out music videos and movie trailers all day long. For the longest time, I assumed it was just playing off of a tape or laserdisc. I remember being completely astonished when I saw the BSOD and realized that there was actually a computer in there playing those vids! I was like, hey why do videos look so tiny and blurry on my PC at home? :P
Oh yeah, and I remember, at school, a few times when the teacher's computer would get a BSOD. In maths, our teacher's computer was glitching and a big BSOD appeared on the TV screen. I also accidently jinxed my Biology teacher's computer into getting a BSOD.
something very strange happened on a windows 10 dell laptop that i used for a while, a normal bsod occurred, but instead of blue or green, the screen was orange.
I once had a hard drive fail on me and it bsod and i was using a messed up VGA cable so it changed colors,ended in being a red screen of death with red lines
I've seen a computer crash in a bad time and a bad place , it was in a bank and the bank at that time had so many people in it waiting to withdraw cash and make a new account and stuff , and one of the computer just randomly crashed and they had to do whatever they were doing once again 😂
For myself, i've NEVER seen a BSoD in public BUT experienced a BSoD at home. Some buses in my area have started to have rear info displays that run WCE. I cannot wait to catch a BSoD on those buses.
The casino I worked at used TVs hooked up to a windows PC someplace to show all our inhouse advertisements (players clubs, tournaments, room deals, etc). We held a daily "contest" between us floor servers to see who could find the first blue-screen of the day, because there was always at least one.
"An error occurred transferring exectuion". (04:39) This sounds like something Scotty would say if the transporter malfunctioned while beaming a captured felon back to their home planet's authorities.
In 2008 or so, I made a bank ATM crash. (Keep in mind that I was ~13 and it was my first time ever using an ATM.) I got confused by the onscreen prompts, then, when the machine spat my debit card out before I thought I was done with the transaction, I panicked and shoved the card right back in the slot. Voilà! Blue screen of death, then a reboot into Windows XP. The ATM proceeded to hold my card hostage until the bank's business hours started. The best/worst part: pissing off the people who were in line behind me, waiting to use that ATM :,) I got my card back later that morning, and the ATM came through it fine, so it was a small price to pay for a learning experience, all in all.
I never saw a system crashing in public, but I did see an ATM booting up some years ago. It ran OS/2 Warp according to the splash screen it showed. Been replaced since.
Just found this video as a result of looking up some funny BSoD locations via Google. So sorry if this is a necro of an old video, but I recently encountered 2 BSoD instances in hilarious places. The first was on an automated kiosk in my area for a system used by BottleDrop, a collective in Oregon that is setup to recycle cans for redemption purposes. The Kiosk was in a Wal-Mart and was used to scan a user's ID card and print out a redeemable receipt to withdraw funds from their account that they could then redeem at a register for the cash. Sadly this one was showing a Windows 7 variant and was actually caught in a loop, restarting and going back to blue screen over and over. FYI none of the staff that I spoke to knew what to do to resolve it, I was told when a "Manager" was available they would "address" the issue. The second BSoD was at a keymaking cabinet at a local Ace Hardware. The machine allowed someone to place a household key (or padlock key, basically a "standard" key as opposed to say a vehicle key) and create a copy for a fee. The touchscreen interface was showing a clearly out-of-date Windows 9x (or NT?) version of the BSoD. Again none of the staff knew what to do, though one suggested he could power cycle it, but that wound up not being possible as the cabinet was actually hard wired into the electrical system of the store.
Internally, stop errors are called bugchecks. The first blue screen covered in this video is actually a boot error, when the initial MICROSOFT screen is displayed on an incorrect DOS version. The screen would print “Incorrect dos version” then print the contents of the WINOLDAP file and scroll past the boot screen. The system will then attempt to boot properly, but most of the time it dies. I can theorize that the STOP error was blue (by the designer who made it) as a reference to the WINOLDAP error.
At Job Corps there was a whole 15 machine computer lab in my dorm. I was there for the CS training and another student in my trade sent some sort of worm and BSOD all of the desktops. It took the class almost two months to figure it out and fix it. Tbh one of the funniest stories I have
I haven't witnessed a BSOD but my half brother had... Back when he was in primary school, his school had Windows XP and his friend, who was sitting next t him, had a BSOD and it was the one that was carried on for another 14 years to Windows 7. R.I.P Windows 7, you will be missed.
Working overtime and reimaging bulk quantities of laptops in the 13 story corporate HQ, I decided to take a walk around my tower (1 of 2). From a conference room window on the 10th floor, I looked across at the other tower - empty at this time of night - and to my great amusement - saw a glowing blue screen 4-6 stories down, just waiting for an IT guy to be at the right place, at the right time.
I had an ATM bluescreen once. This was back in the XP days. Inserted my card and it bluescreened. I was not aware some ATMs ran on Windows. A large digital billboard along I-17 in Phoenix also bluescreened once. I was driving late at night and we just laughed at this giant BSOD we could see for miles. That same digital billboard is now using Linux, I know because it crashed and was sitting on some Linux error screen. I also saw a digital billboard a few months ago near my house getting Windows updates lol.
Yea, my town has 2 big touchscreens scattered along the main road, (street? avenue?) and once i saw both of them with a bsod. That lasted for a week. The next week, they were freezed at a shutting down from the login page. The screens were to be able to see the map, interest places, the bus thing and suggestions. People were always messing around with them. They were some websites that were blocked, like youtube, but not my website, and my website has embedded videos, so i was watching a video of mine (or whatever video i put on the website) on a gigant screen
In Argentina we have displays in some highways that show the last numberplate that went by each lane every few km. Once, on a particularly long trip, i saw three of them with a BSOD message, i was amused by the first one, couldn't believe the second one, and felt like i was in heaven on the third one, it's such a stupid thing to be entertained by, and i know i've seen several of them, but i'll never forget that day.
Once we where in the “song” festival that my school organizes and the blue screen of death appeared in the background of the stage, they had to pause the event and switch PCs so that we could resume
I once was ordering at a fast food restaurant. The menu had a blue screen. I didn’t think that the stuff knew until someone told them a blue screen was in place of the menu
Was at a museum with a sphere that was supposed to have linking images to display a texture on the sphere but it was a blue screen and it was all warped with a *thicc* frown.
When i lived in the country, there was this Fresh n Low (grocery store), and it had one of them signs. One day, and every day after, it would have a bsod as we drove by it (already on the screen).
- Crashed bluescreen in a Shoprite a couple miles away from my house, stayed like that for forever. - Old Windows 8 laptop crashed while attempting to log into the OS - MacBook Air with Win7 bootcamped onto it crashed while watching TH-cam
I remember that I made a video on the Windows 1.0 BSOD and the video is now the first result when you search for Windows 1.0 BSOD. I had no idea what I was doing back then and I cringe so hard when I watch it back.
i remember in primary school we were doing an assembly on this big ass projector and it a winXP BSOD, but apart from that never seen one in public. ive seen my fair share of windows 98 and XP error messages though, mcdonalds, atms, self checkouts, they are just everywhere
I had one story about computer crashes in public, it was a giant LCD-display inside of business centre, that showed waterfalls. some abstract pictures to attract people I think. I used to go to my english courses past this building. Once instead of pictures and videos, there was an Asus MOBO error message "Overclocking faliure! Press F2 to enter setup". Although, that PC was too powerful to show pictures, ASUS X99 2011-3 MOBO, Xeon E5 2630 and 32GB DDR4 3200MHZ. I think there was a blue screen before I came to this building and either CPU or RAM actually went down.
I've seen blue screens (I think in the windows xp style?) on the announcement screens on a bus. It was back when those screens were kinda new on our buses in oslo, so for me, it's kinda funny to see that happening there.
I love how the Speedway instore Speedy rewards consoles still run Windows 7. I don't know how many times those things have died on me or someone else when I am in the line. Man do those consoles take forever to reboot.
Me and my dad were recovering the harddrive from my childhood pc and that blue screened on startup. Also last year i was making a powerpoint on the school computer and that blue screened when i tried previewing it.
Bin my elementary school art class, the teacher had some computers in a small room. One of the computers was so broken, that it would blue screen, then try to use tools to help restart, then blue screen, and this continued over and over again
I've passed a digital advertisement board on a bus stop with the BSOD on it. Also, windows being windows, there was a train information screen at a train station I saw that you couldn't read because it had a big box saying "windows suggests upgrading to windows 10" 😅
The infamous Microsoft Windows Blue Screen of Death, the same thing is called Kernel Panic on most other computer operating systems. At the present time these operating system crashes are rare and many times are caused by a hardware problem with the computer.
Here's a funny kindergarten story: When I was 4, we had macs running windows Vista, we were watching movies on windows media centre, watching movies that were on the macs. I was on one, once the credits rolled in, i got the BoSD, it went like this: "blue screen shows" Me: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEACH Teachers: WHAT HAPPENED!? Me: The computer it mad! Teacher: "calls school tech help" STH: Whats wrong? Me (sobbing): The computer! STH: Its fine just restart! Me: Ok! "restarts" Me: Thanks! STH: No problem!
Dave's Garage (the OP used to code for Microsoft) has a video explaining the origins, etc of the BSOD. Posted a year after yours. Ken, if you see this, Dave covers a lot that you may find useful. Perhaps people networking too.
Two instances: once, at my uni, the fancy coffee/hot chocolate machine had an actual Windows BSOD (one of those fancy automated units). It was definitely one of the pre-8 versions. The second was a not-blue BSOD that a nearby bank had on their display sign. I'm sure I saw one at work once.
I've seen those giant touch screen maps at two different malls that had a BSOD and also saw a device driver install window on a digital storefront sign
Remembered seeing a couple errors (including a BSoD) at a Walmart, specifically at a RugDoctor kiosk. Side note: another one was a .NET Framework error IIRC.
I downloaded Avast Antivirus on an old Windows XP laptop to keep it safe after end of support. While I was installing updates, my computer blue screened. When I analyzed the memory dump, it said that Avast had caused the blue screen. Thanks Avast...
Was at an arcade once and saw a computer with an "Windows is not genuine" popup on the screen. Now that's tea.
Same. It was some basketball thing.

I've seen a Windows NT bsod on a cash machine, and it wasn't that long ago either. Quite worrying that!
The temporary one on Win2K and ME was something to do with the ram being cleared and giving it time to do a memory dump before shutdown.

The screen would print “Incorrect dos version” then print the contents of the WINOLDAP file and scroll past the boot screen. The system will then attempt to boot properly, but most of the time it dies. I can theorize that the STOP error was blue (by the designer who made it) as a reference to the WINOLDAP error.
Oh great way to start Ken! I actually thought I was having a 2005 crash!!!!! well played sir 😆
I once saw a Windows 7 BSOD in a MacDonald's order screen. The staff couldn't figure it out! :P
At Job Corps there was a whole 15 machine computer lab in my dorm. I was there for the CS training and another student in my trade sent some sort of worm and BSOD all of the desktops. It took the class almost two months to figure it out and fix it. Tbh one of the funniest stories I have
WTH? I hope that kid got the boot hahahaha. Pun intended
Sadly during the Windows Insider Build Green Screen you can see at 4:18 you can see “For morei nformation” and “Stop Code”.
I haven't witnessed a BSOD but my half brother had...
Back when he was in primary school, his school had Windows XP and his friend, who was sitting next t him, had a BSOD and it was the one that was carried on for another 14 years to Windows 7.
R.I.P Windows 7, you will be missed.
Working overtime and reimaging bulk quantities of laptops in the 13 story corporate HQ, I decided to take a walk around my tower (1 of 2).
From a conference room window on the 10th floor, I looked across at the other tower - empty at this time of night - and to my great amusement - saw a glowing blue screen 4-6 stories down, just waiting for an IT guy to be at the right place, at the right time.
I didn’t witness a blue screen, but I did witness a windows computer in target being reinstalled due to an error... It was pretty cool...
I had an ATM bluescreen once. This was back in the XP days. Inserted my card and it bluescreened. I was not aware some ATMs ran on Windows. A large digital billboard along I-17 in Phoenix also bluescreened once. I was driving late at night and we just laughed at this giant BSOD we could see for miles. That same digital billboard is now using Linux, I know because it crashed and was sitting on some Linux error screen. I also saw a digital billboard a few months ago near my house getting Windows updates lol.
Yea, my town has 2 big touchscreens scattered along the main road, (street? avenue?) and once i saw both of them with a bsod. That lasted for a week. The next week, they were freezed at a shutting down from the login page.
The screens were to be able to see the map, interest places, the bus thing and suggestions. People were always messing around with them. They were some websites that were blocked, like youtube, but not my website, and my website has embedded videos, so i was watching a video of mine (or whatever video i put on the website) on a gigant screen
In Argentina we have displays in some highways that show the last numberplate that went by each lane every few km. Once, on a particularly long trip, i saw three of them with a BSOD message, i was amused by the first one, couldn't believe the second one, and felt like i was in heaven on the third one, it's such a stupid thing to be entertained by, and i know i've seen several of them, but i'll never forget that day.
Once we where in the “song” festival that my school organizes and the blue screen of death appeared in the background of the stage, they had to pause the event and switch PCs so that we could resume
I once witnessed a BSOD on a billboard and earlier that day I saw a windows 7 start menu opened
i'm on Chromebook. when you said to make sure to lick the video, I licked my screen.
I once was ordering at a fast food restaurant. The menu had a blue screen. I didn’t think that the stuff knew until someone told them a blue screen was in place of the menu
A Sonic I went to once had one
Was at a museum with a sphere that was supposed to have linking images to display a texture on the sphere but it was a blue screen and it was all warped with a *thicc* frown.
When i lived in the country, there was this Fresh n Low (grocery store), and it had one of them signs. One day, and every day after, it would have a bsod as we drove by it (already on the screen).
- Crashed bluescreen in a Shoprite a couple miles away from my house, stayed like that for forever.
- Old Windows 8 laptop crashed while attempting to log into the OS
- MacBook Air with Win7 bootcamped onto it crashed while watching TH-cam
I remember that I made a video on the Windows 1.0 BSOD and the video is now the first result when you search for Windows 1.0 BSOD. I had no idea what I was doing back then and I cringe so hard when I watch it back.
I think I maybe saw it while researching. What user name was it under?
@@ComputerClan It was called Bread Clan, and yes I'll admit that i wanted that channel just to be like this one lol
i remember in primary school we were doing an assembly on this big ass projector and it a winXP BSOD, but apart from that never seen one in public. ive seen my fair share of windows 98 and XP error messages though, mcdonalds, atms, self checkouts, they are just everywhere
Nice TAM in the background. i need to get the power supply rebuilt on mine.
I remember the video you made about screens of death awhile back. I like that video
I had one story about computer crashes in public, it was a giant LCD-display inside of business centre, that showed waterfalls. some abstract pictures to attract people I think. I used to go to my english courses past this building. Once instead of pictures and videos, there was an Asus MOBO error message "Overclocking faliure! Press F2 to enter setup". Although, that PC was too powerful to show pictures, ASUS X99 2011-3 MOBO, Xeon E5 2630 and 32GB DDR4 3200MHZ. I think there was a blue screen before I came to this building and either CPU or RAM actually went down.
4:30
That remembers me when, on my desktop PC, the screen had a big cursor when my PC threw a BSOD.
I've seen blue screens (I think in the windows xp style?) on the announcement screens on a bus. It was back when those screens were kinda new on our buses in oslo, so for me, it's kinda funny to see that happening there.
I love how the Speedway instore Speedy rewards consoles still run Windows 7. I don't know how many times those things have died on me or someone else when I am in the line. Man do those consoles take forever to reboot.
Me and my dad were recovering the harddrive from my childhood pc and that blue screened on startup. Also last year i was making a powerpoint on the school computer and that blue screened when i tried previewing it.
I once saw a BSOD on one of those electronic billboards next to malls :)
Bin my elementary school art class, the teacher had some computers in a small room. One of the computers was so broken, that it would blue screen, then try to use tools to help restart, then blue screen, and this continued over and over again
I've passed a digital advertisement board on a bus stop with the BSOD on it.
Also, windows being windows, there was a train information screen at a train station I saw that you couldn't read because it had a big box saying "windows suggests upgrading to windows 10" 😅
The infamous Microsoft Windows Blue Screen of Death, the same thing is called Kernel Panic on most other computer operating systems. At the present time these operating system crashes are rare and many times are caused by a hardware problem with the computer.
Here's a funny kindergarten story:
When I was 4, we had macs running windows Vista, we were watching movies on windows media centre, watching movies that were on the macs. I was on one, once the credits rolled in, i got the BoSD, it went like this:
"blue screen shows"
Me: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEACH
Teachers: WHAT HAPPENED!?
Me: The computer it mad!
Teacher: "calls school tech help"
STH: Whats wrong?
Me (sobbing): The computer!
STH: Its fine just restart!
Me: Ok!
"restarts"
Me: Thanks!
STH: No problem!
I remember going to the main event a few times, and seeing some arcade machines with bsods and a photo booth.
In Toronto you see blue screens at least once a week, the screen you tap your transit card on to enter the subway or a street car are often crashed.
At an airport where ads are supposed to be shown, there was a Windows 7 Startup Repair going. It was sideways for some reason.
Dave's Garage (the OP used to code for Microsoft) has a video explaining the origins, etc of the BSOD. Posted a year after yours.
Ken, if you see this, Dave covers a lot that you may find useful. Perhaps people networking too.
When I was in first grade, one of our 3 desktops showed a BSOD for one month straight.
Almost every Walmart I went to, there’s a screen that shows starting windows (MS7) and it was stuck there for YEARS!
Two instances: once, at my uni, the fancy coffee/hot chocolate machine had an actual Windows BSOD (one of those fancy automated units). It was definitely one of the pre-8 versions. The second was a not-blue BSOD that a nearby bank had on their display sign. I'm sure I saw one at work once.
oh dear
I haven't seen BSODs in Public here in Australia, but my local atm did once show that internet explorer "Script error" dialog once
I've seen those giant touch screen maps at two different malls that had a BSOD and also saw a device driver install window on a digital storefront sign
Remembered seeing a couple errors (including a BSoD) at a Walmart, specifically at a RugDoctor kiosk.
Side note: another one was a .NET Framework error IIRC.
Oh man I remembered having to deal with BSODs A LOT when my laptop was running Windows 10 1511.. what a horrible experiences they were >
I saw a blue screen at the Singapore to Malaysia checkpoint and it was hilarious AF.
I downloaded Avast Antivirus on an old Windows XP laptop to keep it safe after end of support. While I was installing updates, my computer blue screened. When I analyzed the memory dump, it said that Avast had caused the blue screen. Thanks Avast...
There's also an Orange Screen of Death! It always came up when I was playing Sonic Utopia or whatever Unity game.
My favorite one i saw in public was one of those giant electronic roadside billboards. 50 foot BSOD
I saw one on a billboard once, on my way home from work. It was on the log in screen for weeks after
