    What everybody knows and understands as  the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crash intercept screen, nearly a cultural heritage of the Microsoft operating systems, seems to become something of the past. ...

    Ever since i upgraded to a much better Psu iv never had a bluescreen for many years now, years ago i had those quad rail psu that was only 20amps so most times when i played a game it would bluescreen, when i played crysis 2 at the start of that game my psu actually popped, now iv got the xfx core edition 850w with 70amps on 12v single rail

    Pretty sure a Microsoft employee confirmed on reddit it's so they can distinguish insider from non-insider builds because people keep posting BSOD's of insider builds on public forums.

    Ehhh there's so many things that can cause BSODs. In my case they were mostly video card / drivers related.

    I have not seen one single BSOD since Win7. I'm not joking. Not one. Prior to that, on xp it would happen occasionally. But never ever got one on Win7 and the same on Win 10

    Drivers don't cause BSODs, only hardware does that. Drivers can perhaps expose a weakness in hardware but since Win7 no driver or anything else for that matter has every caused me a BSOD as I said above. So if you're still experiencing BSODS something is wrong. It shouldn't happen unless you're OC'ing past the point of OS stability.

    Drivers are indeed primary reason.


    Still could be Accent Color Screen of Death. Green could have been accent color.

    What would really happen to computers if there was no BSOD to "Save the hardware" ?

    sure why not, crashes will always hit no matter what so after that disgusting and so common to our eyes blue a different color is better.

    Green always has a positive psycho-warm "vibe" so I think this is the only reason.

    Bravo micro$oft! Like Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin...

    used to say (allegedly): "where the people are, there are the problems, remove the people, and you removed the problems". So, this is where the new era absolutist, so-called Big Bad Bill comes in: no more BSOD - issue resolved. How? Well, simply removed, deleted, erased.
    Now we only have to worry about GSOD (Gomorrah and Sodom Oh Dear), but that's another story... Is it?

    The last BSOD that I got was after I upgraded the RAM in my desktop from 16Gb to 32Gb. Before that it has been a while.
