Blue Screen of Death (screen saver)

[Hodge]

Here is an amazing screen saver from sysinternals: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/BlueScreen.html. It fakes, well, the dreaded blue screen of death--Including part of a reboot. I love it, and it throws my roomate off everytime he sees it.


By the way, sysinternals has some really good freeware tools, and some amazing not-so-freeware tools.

I'm afraid of tempting fate with that one.

I agreed with your statement to start with...but I got over it after a bit. Man, I was just thinking I haven't seen the real blue screen for awhile...(not that I ever want to see it on my personal computer unless it's that screensaver).

I did that with my laptop once. It actually fired right up at 30 degrees. I didn't even think about it until it was too late. Amazingly it worked fine.
