That's a Guaranteed Product Failure. 8-) This tends to cause many other
excuses to be used. The most common ones being: reboot, reinstall, your
computer is not compatible, etc. When occurring in the kernel the message
is automatically translated into a more meaningful one - the screen goes
blue. This is Microsoft's way of telling you you're having a _really_ bad
day, or in the case of a server, that someone was doing something really
important and now they're having a _really_ bad day.
