BSoD is probably one of the most legendary and constant parts of windows.
The interface is useless compared đ
And it's more beatiful on public places lmao
And yet Microsoft ditched it in Windows 11 for Black screen of death (fools)
me: very broken pc
pc: BSOD BSOD BSOD NOT BOTTING INTO WINDOWS BSOD BSOD BSOD
@@Starman1941 Still a BSoD.
There's a new way that's similar to the intended way to crash Windows, but it requires support for the long power button hold system. Basically, if you're trying to force a shutdown using the power button, Windows generates a crash dump before shutting down. The black screen shown tells you to release the power button as Windows collects error info.
Cool
Hey there fly when I installed blue screen sim My antivirus (Windows Defender) and chrome flagged it as a virus I installed it from GitHub
How would you know which devices are supported for that?
:( âYour pillow ran into a problem and needs to restart. Weâre just collecting some error info, and then weâll fluff up for you.â

this is giving me major PTSD from when i had to constantly deal with bluescreens
I have a phobia of the BSoD after a laptop I had with corrupted System 32.

Nope this actually showed up on my recommendation
@@FlyTechVideos look at my post
This video is a saviour. I actually needed to know how to do this and escape from some uncomfortable situation.
On the Bluescreen Simulator, the instructions page says "To leave the BSOD screen, press Alt+F4 or F7". I found you also need to press CTRL (CTRL+ALT+ F4 or CTRL+ALT+F7).
Edit: You only need to press CTRL instead of ALT.
create an issue on the github page
Just edit the process you gave dont just say
"Oh sorry you needto press ctrl instead of alt"

I've had so many pc problems in my life that I literally flinch when I see a BSOD
same
It's nice to see you back, especially with such a topic at hand. I think it's also kind of funny that Microsoft coded an official way to BSOD a PC. Also, it wasn't easier to code a way to set the Registry values via a VBS script?
I guess it's the same thing, whether you run a reg file or a vbs file
@@FlyTechVideos well,vbs is not straight registry record,it's a virtual basic script.
reg is straight registry record.
@@ProgressiveTory virtual basic*
@@rednexie ok
But how exactly triggering those keys makes windows crush? Reg files just enables this function, which is just a deeply build-in feature?
"wininit" sounds like a Londoner trying to encourage his computer.
"Win, innit?"
Computer: "No, lose" **instant BSOD**
Yes
This is amazing.
I wonder if you can make the same video but with the RSOD

@@PatRyk738 oh but the cheater way
THE VID IS SOO GOOD, WOULD LOVE A PART 2!! â€â€â€đđđ
"Not a real BSoD, but safe and fun"
Lol I thought it's unsafe but you got me good! :D
On some old NT versions, you could crash it from a cmd console by doing a dir listing of a big directory (system32 would usually suffice) and then rapidly hit a certain function key which brought up a small command history box and repeat the dir. Just doing this a few times would buffer enough dir listings and easily crash NT 3.51 or 4.0, depending on service packs.
The double Control-Scroll Lock registry requires at least Windows 2000. Iâve worked at places where theyâd deliberately enable this on some servers so they could force a reboot when some servers would hang and then be able to capture enough debug info to diagnose it later.
Sounds interesting!
I think that the function key was F7
TBH If i worked there and people were being a pain, I would do that just to annoy them even more to get a laugh.
the command is con/con
@@veterbaevosnovnoi The double device name bug that you're thinking of only applied to DOS-based Windows such as Windows 95 and 98. All NT versions were/are immune to this one at least.

simply boot into WinRE, run command promt from there and rename the file. Even though you are not logged in, it will work as you are re-naming from system32

My favourite way to BSoD is to install Windows in a Chromebook...
i love ur video to much btw i test the blue screen simulator is very very funny

imagine in the recording he edited something into the gsod ( green screen )
yeah its a Insider Build Screen of Death by windows
The green screen of death appears when you are running a insider build of windows (basically beta program)
BSOD simulator? Nice!
Now I can experience older BSODs
I'm very glad that the bsod pillow on the thumbnail is a real thing
I remember seeing the case #3 during my operating systems class, when the classmate pulled the removable HDD out before Windows cleanly close down.

YAY FLYTECH IS BACK
I had the blue screen of death a few days ago. Just happened at random. I just was on internet and suddenly the blue screen of death. I tried everthing to fix it but it failed. Command prompt didn't reconize the codes to fix. Also for some reason that toshiba laptop had put my keys on Querty instead of Azerty. I also tried setting it back to fabric settings and also tried all the other settings but there was some kind of security wall that I couldn't get passed.
I opened up my pc at the back accidently breaking the lit were the battery goes. Then accidently broke the protection around my hard drive when I took it out so my hard drive can't be put back in that laptop. The toshiba satelite pro was atleast 5 or 6 years old.
I also tried putting in my windows 8.1 installation CD but that didn't fixed the error and also when I tried putting my windows 7 disk in it it didn't work.
When I was with a friend who tried to help me my screen started to act weird. At some point there was a white screen full with squares on it.
I decided to safe my hard drive and my CD station from it and my friend will despose of the broken laptop later for me.
I then went to the a computer store and ordered a new gaming laptop which is a HP which I will get soon.
Now I'm getting problems with my docking station which refuses to read itself on my second mini laptop. And both my USB hubs are slowly failing aswell because some USB ports don't work anymore.
I'm planning to buy 2 new USB hubs soon and maybe a new hard drive docking station incase that the one I'm trying to use now is broken.
Thanks, i really wanted to test it on vm
The one time I triggered a BSoD was when I had a hardware glitch that said I needed to replace my memory. Computer crashed multiple times and I only got it fixed from a forced update.
*Yeah, that was fun.*
_Sets up lemonade stand where instead of "lemonade" it says "memtest86+" and instead of "5c" it says "free"_
*Replace your memory*

*Replacing your memory with nothing*
|| HELL NAH ||
2:05 It asks to be runned because it technically still runs if you edit it. Usually you would run it with regedit.exe (I believe) but this time you do with notepad.exe. That is happening because a .reg file isn't an executable itself.
It does not run if you edit it. That's precisely the difference - you are just looking at the source, but the source is not executed. On the other hand, you can run the code, but then you are not looking at it.
@@FlyTechVideos ok then I just might be dumb
@@2f510 It's not about the definition of "run", it's because the file was downloaded, so Windows flagged its alternate-data-stream with a ZoneIdentifier that causes Windows to always warn no matter what kind of access you do. The problem is that Windows uses a single dialog-box for it no matter what action is being performed, which leads to confusion if you weren't trying to run it. You can click [Unblock] in the Properties dialog to stop it.
I am extremely confused at the desktop shown at 3:15. The entire desktop appears to be upside down - the version info is at the top right, the version info and icon label text is upside down and reversed, and yet the taskbar is at the bottom. So it looks like you rotated the screen and then moved the taskbar to the top. **Scratches head**
maybe you're right đ đ đ
@@FlyTechVideos Were you hoping someone would notice the trick? Are you happy someone did? đ
@@I.____.....__...__ Yes and yes
nahhh bro legit i thought the screen was flipped because he took out one stick of ram and like the computer didn't know what to do. the thing _i_ was confused about was the fact that the wallpaper wasn't flipped.
Uh @FlyTechVideos for the thing is it manually does it do any damage to your computer (plz reply)
You wonât have data loss or anything you just trigger the BSoD and then your computer crashed with no damage
At all
Thank You!
Is there an explanation for why running wininit (as an admin, on a local user nothing happens) on a prompt crashes the system? Also, welcome back, Fly!
it attemps to open a critical process, wininit again and then either when it ends due to an error it ends the other one OR windows is made to bsod when a critical process is closed, in that case the other wininit you opened.
This guy is literal insane, he sacrifice his own field PC just for us
@So oS 2 but on the hdd part vmware or not he could damage his pc
The HDD i was using in the video does not contain any data I am afraid to lose (in fact, nothing other than the OS itself). The entire computer I used there is just an experiment bench
@@FlyTechVideos cool, when throwing it and plug it? đ
one time i actually got one so i can say that if you have multiple monitors, the only place the bsod will display is on your #1 monitor. the others will stay the same as they were before the crash
This remembers my good old days when I used to trigger the BSOD in my workplace machine.
Hey Fly, have you thought about trying virt-manager? It runs on QEMU and KVM and is much more "realistic" than VMware.
Out of curiosity, how is QEMU more realistic?
(I can't really talk myself, still pining for a DeckLink :P)
qemu/kvm allows you to do directly pass through hardware like the cpu and gpu, giving you performance extremely close to bare metal
why does running wininit cause a BSOD?
Answer us FlyTech!
Cuz it runs wininit (a critical process) and then it crashes. Causing a bsod. (I think)
@@eloas3260 e
@@user-q8hylm90hg yes but it might get opend again, i saw winlogon do that.
One extra way: update a Win7 Ultimate install activated with Win7 Activator to Win10 Pro, if not in safe mode it will crash after two minutes of use.
i remember when my old computer when ever i would unplug it & plug it back in & turn it on it would have this odd BSoD followed along with a short *beep* but for some reason, the hardware saves progress still, which is really weird. i still can't explain why this happens, to this day but it a weird mystery i havent solved
So I was making a map in Portal 2 with the in game map editor and for some reason the game crashed and Blue Screened me. I was able to use my computer after it and was able to make more maps in Portal 2 after it by just deleting a few saves of the crashed map and verifying my files.
HWOHWOOHWHWHOWHWHOWO
i had a way to trigger blue screen on my old pc
the only thing i had to do is spam click one of buttoms in notification menu, and since it was pretty grabage pc with outdated components, them after seconds i had bsod
I wonder what the bug check code was. The bug check code is the STOP code which says something like WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. There's over 200 STOP codes, and WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR is one of them.
Another way: Uninstall vanguard
True
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
On my old laptop, I didn't get bluescreens so constantly and I weren't so scared of getting them. However, after getting my new PC I kept getting BSODs due to Kernel Power errors. I am terribly scared getting a blue screen now, just because of Fast Startup.
You know you can turn off fast startup, right?
@@FlyTechVideos yeah I turned it off and I dont get blue screens anymore that often
My laptop ALWAYS gives me BSoDs
Same thing happened to me when I installed a bad driver, and I got stuck with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR bluescreen every 30 minutes or so. Only one of those were not caused by that driver.
@@avi8aviate i got a similiar problem to yours, rarely my computer bluescreens with a REFERENCE_BY_POINTER error code randomly at periods but the reason is unknown currently on this day
What do you use for filming in the background sometimes, but you get it instead of a blue screen of death on the brutal way?
A green screen
Gsod (green screen of death lmao)
The âcheaterâ way i loved it đđ
but after this screen can the computer be used again or will it be necessary to install the operating system again?
1:11 For Computers who don't have the Scroll lock Key! RightCtrl+Fn+K
For Computers who Have Scroll Lock Key! RightCtrl+ScrollLock
3:43 no this is the 'GSoD'
3:42 About these different error codes, for example today a bit after updating I got the "inaccessible boot device" error, which means Windows was unable to start up as I understand. The thing is that the message was just like "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you". No mention of collecting info, just like in this video. I guess that's because Windows didn't even get to properly start up and could not write the dump file or something.
Also no, I'm not stuck in a boot loop. The startup repair fixed the error and my computer seems to be running alright now.
My editing software sometimes just decides that this is what it needs to do if I haven't saved for 3 hours. Good times.
0:26
Cam we do it on old waste windows computer
Every windows has its own bsod
3:24 why is windows upside down
đ€ weird indeed!
I think puts... Out there and that is,
The 5.5 way is perfect to make Windows Killscreen series
0:48 in Windows XP: can end any system process using process explorer (or hacker)
in Windows vista, 7 and 8: can end any system process through windows task manager
in Windows 8.1: only can end wininit.exe
in Windows 10 and later: can't end any process but can end wininit.exe *TREE*
1:06 in windows 7 (8 beta), it shows CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (0xF4)
3:44 If Write Debugging Information is set (none), it disables crash dump
So I guess if I use a Linux live distro and rename winlogon.exe from there it could work, right? đ
No...?
As long as the partition windows lies on is mountable, should be possible.
make sure fast boot is disabled on windows beforehand
You forgot 6: The idle way
You must keep Windows on, After a long time it will give blue screen of death, BSoD didn't like to be inactive for a while
*Remember*: You must not do anything to make the Error happen.
Not for me. I've never had that happen, no matter how long it was idling
If windows is not activated
Fly:ends the life of windows *windows 11:WAIT THATS ILLEGAL
YEYEYEYEYEYSSSSS GLACIĂRE MUSIC!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU (also stevia sphere)
4:38 winlogon.exe to not winlogon.exe
I know another (very specific) way:
-setup a macos VM on an intel machine
-use teamviewer on an AMD machine to remote control it
-you will BSOD within a minute
Before I upgraded my CPU, I also found a very consistent way to BSOD, although it doesn't work with my new CPU.
-Compile and start an app in visual studio
-get an exception
-stop the debugging
instant BSOD every single time
I actually want the pillow in the thumbnail
i like this vid i subed!
I did the first way accidentally on my host because it says like "client/server" thing on task manager, so, I thought it was a virus and when I bsod I was thinking "have I killed csrss.exe?" And the answer is yes after check again on task manager the proprety lmao, I was so stupid
Edit: I do the 4th way too on vm when I was trying to reproduce the "destroying windows 11 installer" by enderman xd
Surprising he recorded the crash even though some people donât know how to
Well...would be kinda awkward for me to not know it at this stage, wouldn't it?
2:39 If you don't have a scroll-lock key you can use fn + c twice
On the BSODSimulator on the right side in the middle it said âGet rattedâ is that true because I was scared after that
Didnât know there was a GSoD before, but it was the insider build having a problem
If you don't have scroll lock, try using FN+K, S, or F6
I found another way to cause a BSoD myself:
1. Open task manager
2. Scroll down until you see 'Windows Processes'
3. Right click on all of them until you see one that you can end.
4. Click the checkbox on the prompt and click 'Shut Down'.
5. Depending on which task you killed, Windows will blue screen with the stop code 'CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED'.
I'm not sure about compatibility on Windows 10, I've only tried it on Windows 11, although it may work on Windows 10.
I remember when I got my first blue screen of death on my PC, but it wasn't exactly what I expected! Rather than seeing the infamous blue screen, my PC simply shut down and then turned back on again. Then my PC's CPU had overheated.
I had an old laptop that ran worse than a potato. One time it froze and took several minutes to show a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION bluescreen.
i love the bsod pillow
The legend of bsod
I want that pillow imidietly đ€Ł
Wow. The 5.5th way just wanted me to install it.
