Another Blue Screen of death on a digital signage screen. It’s inevitable but are digital signage network operators monitoring their systems?
FAIL FEATURES
Windows (yes it only happens with Windows) Blue Screen of Death – Not the prettiest blue screen
The system didn’t automatically restart. The screens inside the store also had the same problem
SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Sometimes in this situation there’s not much you can do except to power the system down and start it up again.
There are now technologies that allow you to remotely power off a device via the network
There are tools that will allow you to analyse the crash dump and determine what could have caused the problem. If you are interested on how to analyise the crash dump then have a read of this Microsoft Page: How to read the small memory dump file that is created by Windows if a crash occurs
