Friday game - Pimp the BSoD-message!

From Jouni_crew, on 2007-08-31 at 16:00

Ok, so just like I told you my desktop computer gave me a nice Friday present in the form of a BSoD. It does that from time to time like most PC’s and even though it’s highly annoying I’m already pretty used to losing a couple of hours worth of work every time that happens. Damn Windows. I want that Mac so much.

While my computer was preparing to reboot I had a few minutes to walk around admiring the message and I noticed the same thing I’ve noticed before; The message itself is pretty boring. It’s like the guys at Microsoft have no sense of humor. If I was building shitty operating systems I’d personally make sure the users of those systems would get something funky to read every time it crashes.

This is what I got:

“A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file :

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove disable any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer. Press F8 to select Advanced Startup options and then select Safe Mode.

Beginning dump of physical memory.

Dumping physical memory to disk :”

Did someone guess it already? Yeah, today’s Friday game is all about pimping this error message. Copypaste it from this blog entry to a text editor of your choice and edit it until it’s so funny that people would actually be looking forward to their computers crashing just to see it. You can either just edit some parts of the message or basicly write a new one from scratch.

You’ve got until Sunday midnight (GMT) to complete this task and the funniest error message is rewarded with a brand new t-shirt of the winner’s choice (shipping included) from our selection.

Have fun!

2007-08-31 18:20:00

First part

A problem has been detected and Windows can’t do anything to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file :

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, you are very lucky, just reset your computer and smile.

 
2007-08-31 18:20:41

Second part

If this screen appears again, don’t worry, everything is under control. just follow these steps:

have a coffee and come back in ten minutes

if the blue screen disapear, great we solved your problem

else check if your cat doesn’t sleep on the keyboard

Have fun!
“A problem has been detected and your computer has been shut down to prevent damage caused by Windows.
The problem seems to be caused by Microsoft Office:
If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, go to your nearest computer dealer and buy another operative system. If this screen appears again after the new installation, follow these steps:
Check that your dealer did not provide you with a pirate copy of Windows. In that case, go to your dealer, give him back your newly bought software and ask nicely for any operative systems but Windows.
If problems continue, go back to your dealer, press F666 and shoot him. Then go to the next dealer and repeat the aforementioned operations until you get anything but Windows
After successful installation, download the latest episode of Prison Break from the internet: you may need it”

“A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem is that windows is nothing else than a bullshit.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need. Buy a new computer, because Bill Gates need money to buy a new house.

If problems continue, buy an Imac.
Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer. Press F8 to select Advanced Startup options and then select Safe Mode.

“A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down due to a stupidity overdose.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file :

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, keep calm and restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Close the window of the room you are in, light a cig, and take a large breath. Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, check if you don’t have too many porn files on your comp. If not, ask your friends or msn contacts for website links and updates.

If problems continue, erase your system and install Linux (another choice : buy a Mac)

Beginning dump of physical memory.

Dumping physical memory to disk :

All movie & picture files have been erased, please reboot your computer.
Now, you can open the window you closed before and throw out your pc. Have Fun."

Thanks for buying Microsoft

“A problem (even there probably are more of them) has been detected and Windows has been shut down – just to tell you, if you haven’t noticed - to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file, if it wasn’t you:

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. When this screen appears again, start to use pen and paper.

If you still want to use this macine, even it’s about to crash soon again, check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer if he/she have any better software you could use – that’s just because I can guarantee only that this one won’t work as hoped anyway.

When problems continue, I highly recommend to start using pen, paper and mail again – that’s the most reliable way. If you still want to use this machine you must disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, even thou I have no idea if that’ll do any good. If you need to use Safe Mode, you will be disappointed, sorry.

Beginning dump of physical memory, it won’t bother you again..

Dumping physical memory to disk… I was just kidding, it will bother you again… the same file…:”

My first time on friday game… And guess what, my pc just crashed down while I was writeing that… I want mac too =)

 
2007-08-31 19:49:28

@Meksu : haha, rly ? :D

 
2007-08-31 19:52:37

Yep. But I could only laugh at it this time… It’s not as funny every time it does that =)

The problem seems to be caused by the following file :

The Earth is sick…too much pollution, too much violence…So now, get much more life, less electricity and go out picking out some flowers.

Just thank me, you’ll save some polar bears, and to be sure that you’ll got out, i’ve wrote something absolutely impossible to understand. Good luck:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

“A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. It is always better like a good friend who will scream "Do not marry this girl, it is a guy!".
The problem seems to be caused by the following file : Actually, your dedicated and favorite system did not find it but do not be sad, the forst is with you.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
First, take the biggest glass you can find.
Then, put an always beverage (ice beer :p, schnaps, rustica, aquavit etc…)
Drink the whole glass, and well, I will not try to explain any further step, you will be drunk.
And finally, after a good night and a good sleep, you will see the world differently… yeah, but sorry, there is no solution to your pc problem.
(Alcohol is dangerous for your health, use in with consideration…)
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need. I mean by ask your hardware, something like, How are you today? What’s up etc… It will not help you but being polite is always a pleasure!!!

If problems continue, disable or remove disable any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer. Press F8 to select Advanced Startup options and then select Safe Mode. IF all these possibilities are bothering you, you can still sacrifice your pc in honour to Satan. If God did not help you with your pc, maybe he will?

Thank you to make the choice of Microsoft, and do not forget, mocrosoft is your friend!

“Here we go again! A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the unparalleled laziness of our programmers. Sure, they couldn’t be bothered to fix the glitches in the registry but we can assure you that many man-hours and McRibs were gone through to choose the very pleasant shade of blue for this screen. What does it remind you of? Death?! Haha! No no no…we don’t think so at all.

If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen - and we doubt it is - restart your computer. You’ll probably want to kick it first. If you do kick it, kick it where it hurts: right in the motherboard. If this screen appears again, follow these easy steps:

1. Get a Mac. They’re better. If this is too expensive proceed to step 2.
2. Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. We’ve made the installation process as tricky as possible because…well…if we’re honest…it’s laziness again…so you’re gonna need degrees in both electrical engineering and computer science to get this baby going again. But you’ve got those, right? If not, proceed to step 3.
3. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode it’s simply a matter of jamming the F8 key about 600 times in a very specific rhythm (actually the morse code to “Bill Gates is better then Jesus”). Select ‘Advanced Startup Options’ and then select Safe Mode.

Then you’re on your own.

You can give our Technical Support a ring but we’ll probably be eating McRibs. They’re just so tasty!”

Argh guys, you’re killing me with these entries. :D

I appreciate the way you’ve found different approaches to this game; most entries are really funny but in different ways compared to one another. Pillow’s straight forward "frustrations"-style strike me as the best entry - it has a nice flow that follows the way I actually feel when my computer crashes. Since this game my computer has actually already bluescreened on me twice again. Damn thing - I’m so ready to throw it down from my balcony.

…and sorry about causing frustration by not replying and choosing winners in a timely fashion. Please check your user accounts after noon today. All the users that should be credited will be by then (have to reach Camille for that though).
