| BSOD Enabler | projects | bsod-enabler | Call a _Blue Screen of Death_ on demand! It's more fun than it sounds |
For those that use Windows, the famous 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 a BSOD
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 by doing things that are meant to cause a BSOD, and can therefore be dangerous to a computer, something I didn't really want. Then I stumbled upon this article, which shows that you can in fact raise a BSOD without causing any errors or damage to your computer. Now to write a program that can do it too!
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. So I decided to write it in C#, and use a windows console interface.
