It's a joke! It makes you think that it's crashed your system but it really doesn't!

Calm down Nik!

They aren't. I was just joking. It's a popup of a BSOD. People who don't know all too much about computers may THINK it crashed their computer, and that's the joke.

Alt+F4 solves that much faster. ;)

That is even more Bizarre...but wait, I'm using Netscape!!! I am gonna switch to IE and try again!!!


In IE you get a BSOD and bios failure reports........Netscape skips the BSOD and goes straight to the failure reports!!!
