If a computer has been running along normally for a
while (not during POST), what can cause it to
blackscreen, as opposed to bluescreen? I know that,
for example, if XP tries to page while executing a DPC
routine, it'll bluescreen. But what are the internal error
conditions that can cause a computer to blackscreen?
