It's more fun than it sounds -tags: [windows, security] ---- - -For those that use Windows, the famous [Blue Screen of Death](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death) is an annoyance that plagues computers, causing error, frustration, and even data loss. They happened to me a lot whilst I was trying to configure my computer, and I thought _I wonder who else I can annoy with one of these_... - -__And thus the BSOD_Enabler was born!__ - -After researching into it for a while, it turns out that there are a few different ways to cause a BSOD, unfortunately most of which are the reason a BSOD is there in the first place, which could potentially damage the target machine, something I didn't want! Then I stumbled upon [this article](http://www.wikihow.com/Force-a-Blue-Screen-in-Windows), which shows that you can in fact raise a BSOD without causing any errors or damage to your computer. - -Obviously there are many different ways, and probably far better ways of doing this, but I wanted something that was simple to use, fast, and could be done by anyone, no matter how technically illiterate. I decided to write it in C#, and use a windows console interface so the whole thing could be done with a few key presses. - -Unfortunately I can't find the original source, or a copy of the executable. Once I find them, I'll update this post!
