The PSOD as we all know is probably not the best way to start your day. In most cases one goes through this experience mostly due to hardware issues. I have come across a few over the years and it has been issues with MB, bad NIC, bad HBA and what not. At times this could also be due to a combination of things, that are annoying but also rewarding in hindsight.
Whatever the case might be, it’s generally not the best thing in the world and not a lot of fun. Unless it’s your first one, then I can understand the excitement and the anxiety. I came across this awesome post that I must share. It has a list of some very useful kb articles related to PSOD. Yes, this is also my way of bookmarking this awesome post. I would recommend you bookmark that link as well for a rainy day when your screen goes purple. I am hoping they will keep this post updated.
Btw, I really like how they prefer calling it the “Purple screen of diagnostics” vs the “Purple screen of death”. Pretty creative aye.

Great link!
Be proactive people! Don’t wait till after your first PSOD to finally configure redirection of syslog and scratch.
Yep! Good point.
