It reboots.. Right Click My Computer --> Properties --> Error reporting or
something..
Also, you can change the BSOD to a different color.. Mine is a GSOD
notepad.exe %systemroot%\system.ini
Find the [386enh] section and add or change the following lines:
MessageBackColor=#
MessageTextColor=#
#'s are:
0 = black
1 = blue
2 = green
3 = cyan
4 = red
5 = magenta
6 = yellow/brown
7 = white
8 = gray
9 = bright blue
A = bright green
B = bright cyan
C = bright red
D = bright magenta
E = bright yellow
F = bright white
Be sure to use CAPITALS if you use A - F
Save and reboot.. :)
