WINDOWS: You know a BSoD but have you seen a Green Screen of Death before?
Came across a funky new way of throwing a bugcheck in Windows. You've seen/heard/experienced-more-than-you'd-like-to the pleasure/pain/excitement/horror of Windows throwing a
Blue Screen of Death, just the other day I came across a slightly cooler bugcheck system halt, colored green (with envy!) and a semi rendered progress bar added to the mix. This is purely for Windows, the
Xbox does have GSoD's.
This was with Windows Vista x64 (Service Pack 1 beta) loading after a few OC'ing sessions. So what causes a
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ? There is an *excellent* article about it on
OSR Online that will tell you.
