"dont do this yourself!" *shows exact cord you need to unplug*

BSoD is probably one of the most legendary and constant parts of windows.

There's a new way that's similar to the intended way to crash Windows, but it requires support for the long power button hold system. Basically, if you're trying to force a shutdown using the power button, Windows generates a crash dump before shutting down. The black screen shown tells you to release the power button as Windows collects error info.

There's also a Hyper-V keyboard version that you can find about on the "Forcing a System Crash from the Keyboard" Microsoft support article. Its path to where put the DWORD is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\hyperkbd\Parameters.

2:47 that was perfect timing

I swear... I swear someone, SOMEONE in the world searched for this video looking to screw a friend's computer as a revenge.

:( “Your pillow ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll fluff up for you.” 20% Complete

"wininit" sounds like a Londoner trying to encourage his computer. "Win, innit?" Computer: "No, lose" **instant BSOD**

this is giving me major PTSD from when i had to constantly deal with bluescreens

It's nice to see you back, especially with such a topic at hand. I think it's also kind of funny that Microsoft coded an official way to BSOD a PC. Also, it wasn't easier to code a way to set the Registry values via a VBS script?

This video is a saviour. I actually needed to know how to do this and escape from some uncomfortable situation.

Video aside, I loved the song you used. Very chill. I was in need of this now.

When we needed them most... they return.

I've had so many pc problems in my life that I literally flinch when I see a BSOD

one time one app on my pc glitched and my dad started ending all the processes, i’m so glad he didn’t end all of them before my brother came in the room

On the Bluescreen Simulator, the instructions page says "To leave the BSOD screen, press Alt+F4 or F7". I found you also need to press CTRL (CTRL+ALT+ F4 or CTRL+ALT+F7). Edit: You only need to press CTRL instead of ALT.

I remember when I was younger whenever I clicked on an image on internet explorer (This was the time IE wasn't dead) it went into a BSOD for some reason.

Alternative title: how to get out of doing anything at school computer lab

I had the blue screen of death a few days ago. Just happened at random. I just was on internet and suddenly the blue screen of death. I tried everthing to fix it but it failed. Command prompt didn't reconize the codes to fix. Also for some reason that toshiba laptop had put my keys on Querty instead of Azerty. I also tried setting it back to fabric settings and also tried all the other settings but there was some kind of security wall that I couldn't get passed. I opened up my pc at the back accidently breaking the lit were the battery goes. Then accidently broke the protection around my hard drive when I took it out so my hard drive can't be put back in that laptop. The toshiba satelite pro was atleast 5 or 6 years old. I also tried putting in my windows 8.1 installation CD but that didn't fixed the error and also when I tried putting my windows 7 disk in it it didn't work. When I was with a friend who tried to help me my screen started to act weird. At some point there was a white screen full with squares on it. I decided to safe my hard drive and my CD station from it and my friend will despose of the broken laptop later for me. I then went to the a computer store and ordered a new gaming laptop which is a HP which I will get soon. Now I'm getting problems with my docking station which refuses to read itself on my second mini laptop. And both my USB hubs are slowly failing aswell because some USB ports don't work anymore. I'm planning to buy 2 new USB hubs soon and maybe a new hard drive docking station incase that the one I'm trying to use now is broken.

i tried the 1st one and guess what... IT WORKED! TYSM!

YES MY TECH FLIED THROUGH THE ROOF THANKS FOR TEACHING IT HOW TO FLY

On some old NT versions, you could crash it from a cmd console by doing a dir listing of a big directory (system32 would usually suffice) and then rapidly hit a certain function key which brought up a small command history box and repeat the dir. Just doing this a few times would buffer enough dir listings and easily crash NT 3.51 or 4.0, depending on service packs. The double Control-Scroll Lock registry requires at least Windows 2000. I’ve worked at places where they’d deliberately enable this on some servers so they could force a reboot when some servers would hang and then be able to capture enough debug info to diagnose it later.

This is amazing. I wonder if you can make the same video but with the RSOD

I am extremely confused at the desktop shown at 3:15. The entire desktop appears to be upside down - the version info is at the top right, the version info and icon label text is upside down and reversed, and yet the taskbar is at the bottom. So it looks like you rotated the screen and then moved the taskbar to the top. **Scratches head**

6th way:the "dont be mad" way: run notmyfault and trigger a bsod Edit: manual crash is safe just save your data

The legend is back!! Keep going bro I really like your videos 😄

"Not a real BSoD, but safe and fun" Lol I thought it's unsafe but you got me good! :D

THE VID IS SOO GOOD, WOULD LOVE A PART 2!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

3:49 pc watching: oh cool pc then watching me open powershell as admin: O H N O

I remember seeing the case #3 during my operating systems class, when the classmate pulled the removable HDD out before Windows cleanly close down.

but after this screen can the computer be used again or will it be necessary to install the operating system again?

On the BSODSimulator on the right side in the middle it said “Get ratted” is that true because I was scared after that

5:04 simply boot into WinRE, run command promt from there and rename the file. Even though you are not logged in, it will work as you are re-naming from system32

His Tech videos FLEW back!

this video gave me chills back in the day\

Finally funded my favorite channel

yay you’re back

Omg, I thought you had like 900K subs! Your videos are amazing! Keep it up! :D

3:42 About these different error codes, for example today a bit after updating I got the "inaccessible boot device" error, which means Windows was unable to start up as I understand. The thing is that the message was just like "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you". No mention of collecting info, just like in this video. I guess that's because Windows didn't even get to properly start up and could not write the dump file or something. Also no, I'm not stuck in a boot loop. The startup repair fixed the error and my computer seems to be running alright now.

i remember when my old computer when ever i would unplug it & plug it back in & turn it on it would have this odd BSoD followed along with a short *beep* but for some reason, the hardware saves progress still, which is really weird. i still can't explain why this happens, to this day but it a weird mystery i havent solved

The BSOD Is Probably The Only Thing Windows Never Fails To Deliver XD

YAY FLYTECH IS BACK

This remembers my good old days when I used to trigger the BSOD in my workplace machine.

What a beautiful pillow on the preview

It's awesome you're back!🔆

The brutal way is a Green Screen of Death lol

3:33 THAT'S NOT BLUE THAT'S GREEN

I enjoy your tech content. Great stuff! Also: yes, I’ve encountered the bsod more than once. But not on purpose.

The one time I triggered a BSoD was when I had a hardware glitch that said I needed to replace my memory. Computer crashed multiple times and I only got it fixed from a forced update. *Yeah, that was fun.*

2:05 It asks to be runned because it technically still runs if you edit it. Usually you would run it with regedit.exe (I believe) but this time you do with notepad.exe. That is happening because a .reg file isn't an executable itself.

The “cheater” way i loved it 😂😂

i love bsods. favorite video

Man uses Firefox and duckduckgo, what a man of culture

No one: Literally no one: FlyTech to Windows : *I’m going to end this man’s whole career*

Hey, i downloaded a window's update and after installed, i got the bsod. Can you please explain what has just happened?

I'm very glad that the bsod pillow on the thumbnail is a real thing

why does running wininit cause a BSOD?

Hey Fly, have you thought about trying virt-manager? It runs on QEMU and KVM and is much more "realistic" than VMware.

The Thumbnail is perfect.

I once went into the command prompt safe mode and tried replacing kernel32. Apparently they have it checksummed or something cause just bsod.

So I was making a map in Portal 2 with the in game map editor and for some reason the game crashed and Blue Screened me. I was able to use my computer after it and was able to make more maps in Portal 2 after it by just deleting a few saves of the crashed map and verifying my files.

This guy is literal insane, he sacrifice his own field PC just for us

i remembered once i was playing Garry's mod and all of a sudden, my PC blue screened. and it was very glitchy and it looked as if it was copy and pasted all over the place. but then it rebooted and then everything was fine. still am thinking what might have caused that. Probably heating.

Or, on my computer since Monday, simply load up Task Manager, and try to go to the "Performance" tab. Instant BSoD with 0x0000003b. . Had to roll back a few backups ago - so it's probably a problem that's been building for a couple months - still have no idea what caused it.

i had a way to trigger blue screen on my old pc the only thing i had to do is spam click one of buttoms in notification menu, and since it was pretty grabage pc with outdated components, them after seconds i had bsod

Is there an explanation for why running wininit (as an admin, on a local user nothing happens) on a prompt crashes the system? Also, welcome back, Fly!

My editing software sometimes just decides that this is what it needs to do if I haven't saved for 3 hours. Good times.

I remember when I got my first blue screen of death on my PC, but it wasn't exactly what I expected! Rather than seeing the infamous blue screen, my PC simply shut down and then turned back on again. Then my PC's CPU had overheated.

On my old laptop, I didn't get bluescreens so constantly and I weren't so scared of getting them. However, after getting my new PC I kept getting BSODs due to Kernel Power errors. I am terribly scared getting a blue screen now, just because of Fast Startup.

4:05 is actually the easiest and smartest one to do.

BSOD simulator? Nice! Now I can experience older BSODs

Surprising he recorded the crash even though some people don’t know how to

What do you use for filming in the background sometimes, but you get it instead of a blue screen of death on the brutal way? A green screen

3:43 no this is the 'GSoD'

How do I fix “THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER” on Windows 10 when editing videos?

The legend of bsod

1:11 For Computers who don't have the Scroll lock Key! RightCtrl+Fn+K For Computers who Have Scroll Lock Key! RightCtrl+ScrollLock

My favourite way to BSoD is to install Windows in a Chromebook...

i have an easy trigger because i have a heavy windows 8.1 laptop and every time i hold it a bsod appears and it always happens for different reasons

when i stop RPC services like RpcLoader or something, i get the blue screen for some reason

0:50 not even with pskill?

update ur CrowdStrike to the latest version

İ actually accidentally broke pc with snes application its just broke me two so how does that makes sense? İ was playing mortal kombat 3 for a momenttt

Well if I put a windows 7 disc game in my windows 10 PC it bsod so...?

3:24 why is windows upside down

0:26 Cam we do it on old waste windows computer

one time i actually got one so i can say that if you have multiple monitors, the only place the bsod will display is on your #1 monitor. the others will stay the same as they were before the crash

Thanks, i really wanted to test it on vm

So I guess if I use a Linux live distro and rename winlogon.exe from there it could work, right? 😈

Another way: Uninstall vanguard

I got bsod two times when i started my pc that was using windows 10, waited little bit and i got to page where you need to enter pc code

Fly:ends the life of windows *windows 11:WAIT THATS ILLEGAL

4:38 winlogon.exe to not winlogon.exe

You forgot 6: The idle way You must keep Windows on, After a long time it will give blue screen of death, BSoD didn't like to be inactive for a while *Remember*: You must not do anything to make the Error happen.

Do part 2! I like this video

Can somebody help me? I got the blue screen of death and it said critical process died and I didn’t do anything pls help

I did the first way accidentally on my host because it says like "client/server" thing on task manager, so, I thought it was a virus and when I bsod I was thinking "have I killed csrss.exe?" And the answer is yes after check again on task manager the proprety lmao, I was so stupid Edit: I do the 4th way too on vm when I was trying to reproduce the "destroying windows 11 installer" by enderman xd

I know another (very specific) way: -setup a macos VM on an intel machine -use teamviewer on an AMD machine to remote control it -you will BSOD within a minute Before I upgraded my CPU, I also found a very consistent way to BSOD, although it doesn't work with my new CPU. -Compile and start an app in visual studio -get an exception -stop the debugging instant BSOD every single time

Didn’t know there was a GSoD before, but it was the insider build having a problem

2:39 If you don't have a scroll-lock key you can use fn + c twice
