In many computer operating systems, a special type of error message will display onscreen when the system has experienced a fatal error or is "bricked". Computer users have dubbed these messages screens of death as they typically result in unsaved work being lost and often indicate serious problems with the system's hardware or software. Screens of death are usually the result of a kernel panic, although the terms are frequently used interchangeably. Most screens of death are displayed on an even background color with a message advising the user to restart the computer. == Notable screens of death == * The Blue Screen of Death (also called BSoD, Stop error, or blue screen) is a common name for a screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows operating system when a system error occurs. Certain other systems and devices, including Android and the iPhone 5S, have also been known to display a blue screen in certain unexpected situations. * The Grey Screen of Death (also called the GSoD) appears on the Microsoft Surface RT following a Windows Update in May 2015. The device will regularly fail to resume and instead will simply enable the screen back-light, giving the screen a grey appearance. * A Black Screen of Death (also called BkSoD) is a failure mode of Microsoft Windows 3.x and also appears in iOS, showing only the Apple logo after everything goes black (this happens when the device freezes or is "bricked"). * A Red Screen of Death appears in early beta versions of Windows Vista (also appeared in some early build versions of Windows 98) and is also the color of the fatal error screen on PlayStation consoles. The Kindle Fire shows a red screen when it is "bricked". * The Purple Screen of Death is used by VMware ESX Server, a server virtualization product by VMware, Inc. It is displayed in the event of a fatal kernel error. The screen provides error codes that can be used for debugging purposes. It also appears on a Nintendo DS when the cartridge is removed while playing the built-in application Pictochat. * A kernel panic is used primarily by Unix and Unix-like operating systems: the Unix equivalent of Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death. It is a routine called when the kernel detects irrecoverable errors in runtime correctness; in other words, when continued operation may risk escalating system instability, and a system reboot is easier than attempted recovery. * A Sad Mac is a symbol used by older-generation Apple Macintosh computers, starting with the original Macintosh 128K, to indicate a severe hardware or software problem that prevented startup from occurring successfully. A similar symbol exists for the iPod. * The Bomb icon is a symbol that was displayed when a "classic" Macintosh operating system (pre-Mac OS X) program had an application crash. * Bomb symbols were also used by the Atari ST line of computers when the system encountered a fatal error. The number of bombs indicated the exact cause of the error. * Guru Meditation is the name of the error that occurred on early versions of the Amiga computers when they crashed. It also appears on VirtualBox when the host system crashes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Screen of death」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
