Screens of Death (Computing)

One of my favorites: "Keyboard not detected.  Press F1 to continue."

Sometimes see...

One of my favorites: "Keyboard not detected.  Press F1 to continue."

But it quite clearly means to press after connecting the keyboard. They just didn't have enough letters available.

Just hope the keyboard's USB...PS/2 equipment really shouldn't be connected while the computer is powered. I once killed the PS/2 keyboard port in a test machine doing it.

Oh, and a friend sent me this a while back (It's likely 'shopped, but nonetheless):

One of my favorites: "Keyboard not detected.  Press F1 to continue."

One that used to exist in Vista: "Video card not detected.  Click OK to continue."

One that I hate:  *Bing* "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?"

Saw the first one on MLIA w/facepalm ...

...and I dunno quote how to get rid of the third one when starting up an application....

That third one is part of UAC. It can be turned off. I've used Vista several times on my grandma's PC, and the number times I had to click yes just to delete a shortcut from the common desktop drove me crazy.

UAC is what you get if you try to implement security in something that wasn't designed to be secure.

Alright, Bluscreens are one thing, but when even the BIOS crashes /locks up, you KNOW that something is wrong, and it isn't Windows this time...

Apparently it was a good think to buy an extra 4GB RAM kit (one of my old ones seems to have taken the highway to hell)
