Simple BSOD

A basic simulation of a classic Windows system error ("A problem has been detected..."), often referred to as the "blue screen of death" (BSOD), but with any references to Windows removed to make it (slightly) more believable for users of Mac OS X. This BSOD screensaver contains no animation or other features, it simply displays a fake error message that will disappear when a key is pressed on the keyboard or the mouse is moved.
