In a "fixes that fail" scenario the encounter of a problem is faced by a corrective action or fix that seems to solve the issue. However, this action leads to some unforeseen consequences. They form then a feedback loop that either worsens the original problem or creates a related one. [2] [3] Fig. 1: Causal loop diagram
The Blue Screen of Death in Windows 9x, as it appears on Windows 95 and Windows 98. The Windows 9x line of operating systems used the Blue Screen of Death as the main way for virtual device drivers to report errors to the user.
A Yellow Screen of Death occurs when an ASP.NET web app finds a problem and crashes. [8] [self-published source?] A kernel panic is the Unix equivalent of Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death. It is a routine called when the kernel detects irrecoverable errors in runtime correctness; in other words, when continuing the operation may risk escalating ...
There are many factors that can contribute to this problem, including the ones listed below. The most common issue contributing to a black screen of death on startup is usually due to a missing file. [1] It also occurs when the user enables file compression on all the files, causing the entire operating system to become compressed and unbootable.
Machine checks are a hardware problem, not a software problem. They are often the result of overclocking or overheating. In some cases, the CPU will shut itself off once passing a thermal limit to avoid permanent damage. But they can also be caused by bus errors introduced by other failing components, like memory or I/O devices.

It works by periodically checking to make sure that protected system structures in the kernel have not been modified. If a modification is detected, then Windows will initiate a bug check and shut down the system, [6] [8] with a blue screen and/or reboot. The corresponding bugcheck number is 0x109, the bugcheck code is CRITICAL_STRUCTURE ...
Dereferencing any of these variables could cause a segmentation fault: dereferencing the null pointer generally will cause a segfault, while reading from the wild pointer may instead result in random data but no segfault, and reading from the dangling pointer may result in valid data for a while, and then random data as it is overwritten.
