Blue Screen of Death

The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is an error screen displayed by Windows when the system encounters a critical problem it can't recover from, often due to hardware issues, driver faults, or software conflicts. It acts as a safety feature to prevent damage and provides error codes to help diagnose the issue. When a BSOD occurs, the computer stops functioning temporarily to avoid data loss or further damage, and usually needs to be restarted. In essence, it’s a protective warning that something severe has gone wrong with the system.
