Orange screen of death? - undocumented here (possibly rare)

There was another variant of BSOD, beside from green one, there was OSOD (or Orange Screen of Death), they are not documented here on the wiki whatsoever. But they do exist, I even triggered one on a old Thinkpad laptop that was gone and a Pentium PC that I currently have, by running games like GTA 5, then manually crashing windows with Ctrl + Shift + Scroll Lock while the game is still rendered fullscreen, instead of BSOD, there is Orange screen instead (which probably indicates video driver-related problems). --Kr0tchet (talk) 11:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Do you have any picture of that? And what Windows version? - Bob2204 Click here to begin. Or here. Talk - 11:18, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Here: https://wink.messengergeek.com/t/yellow-orange-screen-of-death-on-windows-10-very-rare/14407, this was from long time ago, on a ThinkPad T430 running Win10 LTSC 2019 that was gone. However its still applies to my second PC (with Intel HD 2500 and Pentium G2030, Win10 LTSC 2021) as of 2023. Again playing that same game and manually crashing it with the same Ctrl + Shift + Scroll Lock. This affects Windows 10 (both LTSC 2019 and LTSC 2021 are tested, it's always orange when i tried it for second or third time, and so on), but may also exist in Windows 11 (don't know if this was removed or not). It's also unknown whether this only affects Intel HD Graphics (or other integrated graphics) or discrete one like NVIDIA/AMD/Intel Arc. --Kr0tchet (talk) 04:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Also once again in 2024, there was a Twitter/X post about an user having the rare orange screen of death aswell, this time it's an actual crash caused by Broadcom Network driver. Wikipedia (even through unsourced) also mentions it that you can only get this orange screen if there's drivers incompability issues, or in Reddit, actual hardware issue (which may either have blue or orange screen). --Kr0tchet (talk) 11:53, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

It basically just a display glitch. Other colors such as lime screen of death, pink screen of death,... are the same case. Microsoft only implements green screen, blue screen and black screen of death throughout the development process of Windows. —— Preceding SIGNED comment added by insomnia {{ talk • contribs • email me }} | 11:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

It might not be display glitch entirely through, the crash I have done above was intentionally done by using the taskkill /f /im svchost.exe command (if i remember correctly), and recently saw the other Twitter/X post, that shown an actual crash caused by Broadcom Network driver (according to that .sys file). However, an actual display glitch would have been looked like a BSOD with a pink colored background but with strange yellow QR code, or a screenshot of the game/video (or whatever on the screen) with transparent looking BSOD appearing on top of it. --Kr0tchet (talk) 11:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

And only Windows 9x has the ability to change the color of the BSOD, so might be a graphics problem, as mentioned above. - Bob2204 Click here to begin. Or here. Talk - 11:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Windows 7 early startup crash screen

in windows 7, you can get an early startup crash by adding /break when editing the boot options. the bsod contains *** STOP: 0x{code} (0x<parameter1>,0x<parameter2>,0x<parameter3>,0x<parameter4). nothing else such as "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."
