I just jacked this from wikipedia since it's explained well
The Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSoD, bluescreen, or Blue Screen of Doom) is an error screen frequently displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage.

Bluescreens on NT-based Windows systems can be caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system could also cause bluescreens.

Bluescreens can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty memory, power supply issues, overheating of components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; earlier, OS/2 and MS-DOS suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista displayed the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.

The term "Blue Screen of Death" originated during OS/2 pre-release development activities at Lattice Inc, the makers of an early Windows and OS/2 C compiler. During porting of Lattice's other tools, developers encountered the stop screen when NULL pointers were dereferenced either in application code or when unexpectedly passed into system API calls. During reviews of progress and feedback to IBM Austin, the developers described the stop screen as the Blue Screen of Death to denote the screen and the finality of the experience.


No you cannot stop bluescreen of death and if you could it would screw you computer over because that's how the computer prevents itself from damages or data loss.

It's an error (Usually on windows)caused by faulty hardware on your computer. It results in destroying your computer. I don't think theres anyway around it when you have it already. Only thing I'd do to stop it is be cautious and not to do anything unfamiliar to your computer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death *go to wikipedia my information probably isn't 100% correct*

Actually, the red ring CAN be stopped, but at the risk of the health of the XBOX itself. Just put a thick towel over the XBOX, no matter the ring color. Then, let it run for 3 hours or so. After, it should over-heat, and thusly get rid of the red ring. However, afterwards, your XBOX will get overheated REALLY easy.

Also, there is a cure for the "Blue Screen" impersonator. First, you must find out if it really IS a Blue screen of death. If you can access your main screen and information, than it could just be a Blue screen virus, which goes away with a simple free virus scan (DON'T USE AWOLA! IT'S A SCAM THAT INFECTS YOUR COMPUTER!!) (Try Spybot Search And Destroy. it works pretty well) That way, it can be cured. Otherwise, you may need to get someone on that.

You are not supposed to stop it. Just do what it says and your computer should be fine.
