BSoD (disambiguation)
[[BSoD]] is the [[abbreviation]] for 
* [[Black Screen of Death]] &mdash; a failure mode of [[Windows 3.x]] and a system or application error screen in [[OS/2]]
* '''Black Screen of Death''' &mdash; dark electro producer
* [[Blue Screen of Death]] &mdash; a system error screen in all versions of [[Microsoft Windows]]
* http://www.bsodcomic.com &mdash; Blue Screen of Death, an online webcomic
* [[Bastard Sons of Dial-Up]] online [[Open-IPTV]] technology show.
The original abbreviation referred to the Windows 3.x failure mode, but over time the system error screens came to be referred to as "screens of death" too.  The [[Jargon File]] suggests that the term was originally an allusion to the "floating head of death" in a popular ''[[The Far Side|Far Side]]'' cartoon.
