When Windows encounters certain situations, it halts and the resulting diagnostic information is displayed

in white text on a blue screen. The appearance of these errors is where the term "Blue Screen" or "Blue
Screen of Death" (BSOD) has come from.
In a lot of instances, the screen only flashes up for a few seconds before re-booting. You can disable this
process following the steps in Section 2 below, allowing further analysis of the error.
Blue Screen errors occur when:

 Windows detects an error it cannot recover from without losing data.


 Windows detects that critical OS data has become corrupted.
 Windows detects that hardware has failed in a non-recoverable fashion.

The text displayed can either be text based (Figure 1) or graphical based as in Windows 8 and 10 (Figure
2)
