I did it!!! I got a BSOD in XP!!!!

[ribitch]

So i am using XP today (trying to convert a publisher doc to something standardized like quark indesign or pagemaker, and good ole XP gave me a nice blue screen. System locked up, and had to force the power off on the sucker.

I wanted to take a picture of my accomplishment, but i didnt have a digicam around. damn. maybe next time

[Ladogaboy]

Wow! I can't even do that in WinME!

[DoPeY5007]

I do it every now and then

[Webhead211]

lol.. are you kidding? since i built my new rig last week, XP was giving blue screens of death like it was its job . i moved one of my ddr ram chips into a different slot and now i cant sink it though.

XP has given me BSOD whenever I try to install it. It is very rare for XP to give me BSODs though. Kinda sucks when it does caues you KNOW somethigns f'd.

[NuTs62]

been there, got a few dozen of those

[hapoo]

the only time i get bsod's is because of hardware problems

[spigidygak]

Only time it happens is when I got too much por. . . err whats a bsod?

[Bires]

I've gotten a couple with RAID...once or twice the hard drives didn't spin up fast enough from sleep and I got a "cant read from disk" error.

[SnowSurfer]

sounds like the fish that got away . just messing with you ribitch

[ZrEo0]

the old BSOD looks better

[IntegraTypeR]

i've never experienced BSOD with xp.... ive gotten a lot of locking up but never the dreaded BSOD

I had a ton of BSODs with Windows XP, but it turned out that my video card didn't like my motherboard. Replaced the nVidia card with an ATI and my system has been flawless ever since. Put the nVidia card in another machine and that machine is good too. Oh well.

On an interesting note, OS X v10.1.5 has been wreaking havoc on my iBook lately. iPhoto was locking up intermittently and I couldn't even force quit out of it. Ran Disk Warrior on it and it corrected a bunch of problems, but I'm starting to suspect a hardware problem might be on the horizon because it's been losing contact with the Airport randomly lately and trying to dial up instead.

You must be a total liar. Ever since Ribitch came here we all know that Macs dont do that. They are 100% stable and thats all we need to know.

and the truth comes out.......



anyways, i have also crashed an OS X system, but the system was a 300 MHz G3 running a beta build of X. I was tryingf to use IE, then suddenly a message came up telling me a kernal panic had occured and to reset the system.

BSOD = blue screen of death, i think

BTW... spigidygak was being "sarcastic" up there. He knows what a BSOD is.

Well, I'm waiting for about 3-4 years from now when a bunch of youngin's had never seen a BSOD before and come crying when they do.

Of course, by that time, they'll probably have no idea what a command line is either.
