MS-DOS and all versions of Windows after Windows 3.1 (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11) also display a black screen of death when the operating system cannot boot. There are many factors that can contribute to this problem, including the ones listed below.
By far, this is the most famous screen of death. Black Screens of Death are used by several systems: One is a failure mode of Windows 3.x. One appears when the bootloader for Windows Vista and later fails. Also in Windows 11 previews the Blue Screen of Death was changed to black. [1]

Black screen of death is a tough case. It's about two different system errors on two separate OSes. As such, I suggest its content about DOS crashes in Windows be merged into BSoD, its content about OS/2 crashes be merged into OS/2, and that Black screen of death should be made into a disambig among Blue screen of death, OS/2, and Xbox 360.
