Black screen of death?

Windows 7 had just launched and now there surfaced a complaint, BSOD. Nope, not Blue Screen of Death but Black Screen of Death. Just the difference in colour but it is as annoying as the blue version. I have never actually see the black screen at all. A search on the internet all shows different type of black screens, including the DOS mode, the F8 menu screens and even the MacOS black screens. I am still using XP and so far only blue screen and to get such a screen is rare. The black screen version maybe link to something the user installed. The reports on the internet first claimed that MS patches causes it, now they apologized and U-turn the claim. So if the patch didn't cause it what does? The user. The user is in charge of what goes into their computer so if something wrong happens it is the user's fault. Windows 7 is still new but it doesn't mean the anything that is approved to protect your system might not start the black ball rolling. In any case, no OS is safe of the different colours of death screens. Just make sure you have a backup of your stuff before the ball came crashing in.
