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 Deathetter Sounding On Drugs''' &mdash; dark electro-house producer duo
* [[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]] &mdash; Online IPTV 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.
