Tutorials How to Install a Windows Blue Screen of Death Screensaver

[WhiteLocks]

BlueScreen Screen Saver v3.2

Installing a screensaver that looks like a Windows blue screen error — Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) can be a funny prank to play on your friends, and also an easy way to keep coworkers off your computer. The infamous memory dump will freak out any Windows user.

Install BlueScreen
Download the BlueScreen Screen Saver and extract the zip file to a convenient location on your system. Right click the .src file and then Install.

Agree to the the license terms.

Now you just need to set it as the default screen saver and configure a couple of settings. Right click the desktop and select Personalize.

Then click Screen Saver.

Now in Screen Saver Settings select how many minutes of inactivity pass before it’s displayed.

You might also want to click Settings. There you can enable Fake Disk Activity — this makes the BSOD look more realistic.

That’s it! A very convincing Blue Screen error is displayed. And for added realism, BlueScreen will act like Windows is trying to restart, and generates a new error each time.

Maybe compability mode can help?

That would break some nerves if it were working

Works on Windows 7 and below i guess the bluescreen it displays is the old style version without the sad face like in Windows 8.1 and 10.
