VMware ESXi#Purple Screen of Death

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-A '''purple screen of death''' (Also known as PSoD, purple screen of doom or purple screen) is the name of a fatal error. It is most known to happen in [[VMware ESX]], although it is also known to happen on [[Windows Vista]] and the [[Nintendo DS]].

-==Windows Vista==
-It is possible to get a PSoD on [[Windows Vista]]. This can be caused by the WDDM drivers partially crashing and DWM not properly deactivating. It is caused by the video driver failing to render a dialog box after it stops responding in the grayed out tone, and is not a traditional screen of death in that there is no fatal error or need to restart the computer, and it does not take up the entire screen.

-==Nintendo DS==
-There is also a PSoD on the [[Nintendo DS]], which can be done by doing as follows:
-Step 1: Make sure there is a game card inserted.
-Step 2: Turn on the system, and then press the A button on the health and safety screen.
-Step 3: Enter [[Pictochat]].
-Step 4: Enter any room.
-Step 5: Now remove the game card and you should get it (if not you have an older version of DS).
-Most Nintendo DS lites and a few pink original DSes display a pink/purple screen, while the older versions either display an orange/yellow screen or a light green screen. The color determines the firmware version of the device. This does not happen on the [[Nintendo DSi]] because, unlike the Nintendo DS, game cards can be [[hot swapping|hot-swapped]].
