Blue Screen of Death
     
         (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".
