Doom Metal Alchemist Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Did you get the blue screen of death? Is the blue screen of death even still a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSODs still happen, but Win10 has it so that the computer immediately starts a data dump procedure to send to MS (if you opted in), provides you with a QR explaining what is going on and then attempts a reboot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna sound dumb, but when we had issues at work with Dell & IBM laptops going dark, we'd just undock or unplug and pull the battery for a few seconds. Then reverse the process. It always worked. Forgot - you could also check the CMOS battery. Edited December 20, 2021 by tsar4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
