The Black Screen of Death (KSoD or BlSoD) is the black error screen displayed by some operating systems after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down.

In game consoles
A black screen can be encountered on numerous other computer systems such as the Nintendo GameCube if the game disc is dirty or damaged or if there is an internal problem with the system such as an illegal operation. The message that displays on-screen is stating that "An error has occurred. Turn the power off and check the Nintendo GameCube instruction booklet for further instructions."
