Title: Neat Bluescreen
Post by: iago on November 01, 2006, 09:46:38 AM
I've been leaving my Windows XP in VMWare running overnight lately to see what kind of different bluescreens I get.  And I have to say, I've never seen this one before:

I think I said something like this in the last thread you seemed to imply that Windows is impossibly unstable, but I'll say it again just in case.  I leave both my laptop and my desktop running and they NEVER bluescreen spontaneously like this.  I've had it happen a few times when I left WoW running with an anti-afk macro repeating, but I expected something similar to hapen.

I've left entire labs of XP machines running for days at a time without a single one bluescreening. :P

Yeah, either XP doesn't like VMWare or VMWare doesn't like XP.  Or maybe a little of both.  But it's fun to see a different bluescreen every morning :P

I thought this one was odd, though, because it doesn't have the usual text that I typically see on bluescreens.

I've seen about three different outputs today, but that one, I've never seen.  Good find.  ;)

Also, now we know who your friends are.  I see how it is.   :'(

He doesn't even have his significant other on his list. What a jerk.

Haha, "Robbin... maybe?"  I looked over that before.

Haha, my "friends" at work are either people from real life (who I arrange things with for after work) or people who can help me with PHP (Sidoh!) or Newby.  Sorry :P

and yeah, I have two people, "Scott... maybe?" and "Robin... maybe?" -- they're real-life friends.  I got their AIMs off a forum they use, but they aren't the same AIMs I have at home, so I'm worried that it might not actually be them.  And I haven't actually asked :P
