 What is Blue Screen of Death (BSoD)

A stop error or exception error, commonly called the blue screen of death (BSoD) or blue screen, is an error screen displayed on Windows computers following a fatal system error. It indicates a system crash, in which the operating system has reached a condition where it can no longer operate safely. This is caused by many different problems, such as a general hardware failure or a crucial process terminating unexpectedly.

he Blue Screen of Death in Windows 10 (versions 1607–1909), which includes a sad emoticon and a QR code for quick troubleshooting. The BSOD text was changed in version 2004 from "Your PC ran into a problem" to "Your device ran into a problem", but everything else is still the same.

A blue screen error (also called a stop error) can occur if a problem causes your device to shut down or restart unexpectedly. You might see a blue screen with a message that your device ran into a problem and needs to restart.
