You can have the mac equivalent which is

But its rare to have one. I have only ever had 1 myself and that wasent on my mac that was on a school mac.

That makes no sense. You cannot BSOD whilst running OSX.

[newWORLDorder]

Reminds me of the Beijing Birds Nest BSOD.

[Recursion]

Look up, there is a varient of BSOD ;)

[lolwut]

That's what you get when you use Windows.
I thought you used Linux, Dave?

[newWORLDorder]

Or he may have been running Windows via Parralells/Fusion

Old picture.

Could no one see it was a joke? If you looked at the post above you might understand...

This might be false information, but doesn't the Mac version of the BSOD just go blank and not say anything? Usually showing the desktop but with no icons.

My auntie has had something like a BSOD, but replace the blue with black... That was when the OS somehow removed itself, or somehow destroyed itself. Not really sure where Macs get the idea of safety or this idea where things like this are impossible, but if someone can remove an OS on a Mac (which I think she must of done) or removed itself somehow, then it's no better than a Windows PC :/

I need to try that ^


The Mac Version of a BSOD is called a 'Kernal Panic' which has been posted already but looks like;

Edit: No offensive but if your auntie can delete/remove OS from the mac then she can do that on any operating system.

Then why doesn't everyone boast about this error on OSX? There's more Windows users so there's obviously going to be more discussing BSODs, but even OSX users boast about how terrible BSODs are, when there's a similar error for OSX..

I wasn't boasting about the error, this thread is made as a joke most likely. I don't mind any errors in either OS.

[Recursion]

Hey! At least BSODs tell you the problem!

[Nereo]

When i saw the thread title I assumed this was gonna be a thread about a new pizza or something :P

I never said you were boasting about it. I was talking about in general.

[Nick.]

What on earth are you smoking? Sorry but the screen is plug and play and an Apple Cinema Display would not BSOD the piece of **** that is Windows. It's shameful that someone is even using an Apple Cinema display with Windows. eurgh.

[scottish]

It's a joke :rolleyes: Mac fanboy n wot.

[Nick.]

I'm not even a fanboy, so w/evs. It's just when someone makes a comment like that and it isn't 'obvious' it's a joke, obviously I'm going to correct you.

I can't exactly take offense to that lol :P But it seems odd that people rat on about how easy and safe OSX is, when in reality it is about as reliable and unreliable as any other OS. She said she didn't touch anything, so I'm assuming that if she did, it wasn't very hard otherwise she would of admitted it. Her personality is one of being open about stuff like that, with the limit of what she can remember :P

It wouldn't delete it self on its own. Someone had to do it :P

[Recursion]

A Mac Virus that does "rm -rf /" ;) LOL joke.

[xxMATTGxx]

A Mac Virus that does "rm -rf /" ;) LOL joke.

LOL, Yeah but the user would still have to enter that though... :P

[scottish]

don't get it? :P

How it let her is beyond me. I might ask her what happened, this was ages ago and I never really did poke her about it :P

The difference being in the 5 or so months I've had vista, I have had a couple of BSODs and in the years of having a mac I didn't have a single kernel panic.

ye hats what i am trying to say. kernel panics are very rare to have on mac.

[Recursion]

At school, on brand new iMacs, I have had more kernel panics in a week than BSODs in 6 months LOL

BSODs are also extremely rare, and hey! At least we can fix the issue by writing down an error code and Googl'ing it!

You said yourself that the school macs are crap and when you tried Hackintosh or whatever its name is you loved it. So your point is kinda crap.

LOL!

Yeah I used to get BSOD's every couples of months on my PC, I've had my iMac 12 months and it's worked as expected every single day of owning it.

shame when a good joke dies from explanation :P

I must admit I've never had a BSOD on my Vista. As Tom said at least you can see what the error is and Google the error :P

[Recursion]

Yeh :(

[Pyroka]

I'm on Vista, haven't had a BSOD in a while. It just freezes on my computer, halts up and doesn't even give a BSOD. Count yourself lucky that you get to see my favourite color. I just see... freezement.

Bejing BSOD was awesome, so was the Nine Inch Nails concert. Nine Inch Fails. :P

[Blinger1]

I've had one BSOD from vista, and that was from installing an old driver ;)

[enraged]

ive only had one bsod in my whole life thats when i deleted my bootmgr, so i had to run my backup disk that i got with my laptop, but it was a backup for vista not xp so yeah. (** u pc world)

[RSTurbo]

I get that message every 8 months or so thats why i never download anything important anymore LOL.

[Technologic]

The only BSOD i've had on vista is when my computer overheated when it was like 30C over summer

[AlexOC]

Olympic Fail Mentioned Earlier xD -
