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.
Blue screen errors have existed since the first beta release of Windows 1.0; if Windows found a newer DOS version than it expected, the boot screen would have the text "Incorrect DOS version" alongside other messages detailing what check failed to pass appended into it before starting normally. [4]
In Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10, System File Checker is integrated with Windows Resource Protection (WRP), which protects registry keys and folders as well as critical system files. Under Windows Vista, sfc.exe can be used to check specific folder paths, including the Windows folder and the boot folder.
The code was present in the installer, in the WIN.COM file used to load Windows, and in several other EXE and COM files within Windows 3.1. [1] The AARD code was discovered by Geoff Chappell on 17 April 1992 and further analyzed and documented in a joint research effort with Andrew Schulman.
10.0–10.1: The system displays text on the screen, giving details about the error, and becomes unresponsive. 10.2: Rolls down a black transparent curtain then displays a message on a white background informing the user that they should restart the computer. The message is shown in English, French, German and Japanese.
In computer operating systems, memory paging is a memory management scheme that eliminates the need for contiguous memory allocation, [1]. It is often combined with the related technique of allocating and freeing page frames and storing pages on and retrieving them from secondary storage [a] in order to allow the aggregate size of the address spaces to exceed the physical memory of the system.

The ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers will display "Guru Meditation Error: Core X panic'ed" (where X is 0 or 1 depending on which core crashed) along with a core dump and stack trace. [ 6 ] VirtualBox uses the term "Guru Meditation" for severe errors in the virtual machine monitor, for example caused by a triple fault in the virtual machine.
If the memory access time is 0.2 μs, then the page fault would make the operation about 40,000 times slower. Performance optimization of programs or operating systems often involves reducing the number of page faults. Two primary focuses of the optimization are reducing overall memory usage and improving memory locality.
