How to solve those BSODs

Just change the colour

In Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, each time the Windows Kernel crashes, a blue screen appears, giving the administrator some clues and information as to what has caused the error. This screen, because of its blue color and catastrophic nature, was nicknamed BSOD - Blue Screen Of Death.
Why blue - no one knows, but what I do know is the fact that the blue screen can be changed to a different color, thus creating your own YSOD or RSOD or even WSOD...
To do so follow these steps:

1. Open the SYSTEM.INI file found in the %systemroot% folder (i.e. C:'Windows or other). You can easily open the file by running SYSEDIT from the Run command, or by using Notepad.exe.
2. Locate the [386enh] section in the file:
   
3. If not already present, create the following new entries:

MessageBackColor=
MessageTextColor=

and give it a value according to the following list:

• 0 = black
• 1 = blue
• 2 = green
• 3 = cyan
• 4 = red
• 5 = magenta
• 6 = yellow/brown
• 7 = white
• 8 = gray
• 9 = bright blue
• A = bright green
• B = bright cyan
• C = bright red
• D = bright magenta
• E = bright yellow
• F = bright white
  
  Note: Use CAPITAL LETTERS, i.e. F and not f.
• Close SYSTEM.INI while saving your changes.
• Restart the computer.

Now wait for the system to crash (supposedly it shouldn't be crashing so often...) and behold the horror.
