Fun fact: When Windows 11 was initially released, Microsoft was going to change the official blue screen of death color to black. But, that decision was quickly changed. It seems that the blue screen of death is here to stay.

0:31 that whistle freaking scared me what the heck

[JeeTinator]

I usually get orange screen of death believe it or not. Lol. I under volt my laptop to save battery and make it run cooler. And I under volt multiple things like cpu core, cache, and gpu. The orange screen happened as a result of a voltage being too low for one of these components to operate smoothly.

- one of my friends has actually experienced the pink screen of death, along with the yellow qr code
- for some reason almost all my green screens happen SPECIFICALLY when i shut down my laptop (yes, i'm part of the windows insider program).

finally someone that goes straight to the point without a 15 minute monologue at the start

I paused the video, looked around, felt my spine literally do a backflip, sh*t my pants, was scared all the way to the moon, got the wind knocked out of me, and felt the Grim Reaper right next to me when that sound played. Never do that again.

(I unpaused the video after I made the comment and got hit with another whistle. Amazing)

I got orange screen today, it really scared me thanks for explaining

[Akabalthy]

The sound effects scared the shit out of me at first, i thought someone broke into a house nearby cus they sounded like alarms

[holdenroberts]

I like how the video immediately got to the interesting information and didn’t play filler for 17 minutes straight

[Sole_Survivor.]

I used to experience at least 5 orange screens of death and sometimes 2 blue screen of death every single day, and when neither of these errors occurred, the video would turn into a mess with a lot of pink, red, green and blue dots all around the screen while the system and video dies, or sometimes it would just turn off and restart by its own

Vista had a red screen of death, caused by a bug in the Boot Manager

[KenjiTheHedgehog]

1:04 you can force a black screen by manually closing your file explorer from the task manager

In a parallel universe, people are saying "my computer pink screened" instead of "blue screened".
