Windows 3.1 & 95：DOS时代的终结
在Windows 3.1和95时代，系统仍严重依赖DOS内核。当发生严重错误时，系统会显示一个简单的文本错误信息，通常为黑底白字或白底黑字，有时伴随"General Protection Fault"等提示。这可以看作是蓝屏的前身。
Windows 98/ME：经典的蓝屏诞生
Windows 98正式确立了蓝屏死机（Blue Screen of Death）的经典形象。深蓝色背景，白色文字，显示详细的错误代码、内存地址和可能的故障模块。这一时期的蓝屏信息量大但对普通用户极不友好。

Windows XP：稳定的蓝屏
随着Windows NT内核的成熟，XP时代的蓝屏虽然依然存在，但频率大大降低。蓝屏界面更加规范，错误代码系统化，为技术人员提供了有价值的诊断信息。蓝屏成为系统遇到无法恢复错误时的标准响应机制。

Windows 7/8：现代化的蓝屏
蓝屏界面更加简洁，去除了大量技术细节，只保留关键错误代码和简单说明。微软开始提供二维码（Windows 8）和更友好的提示，引导用户获取帮助。
