Best Answer

The Blue Screen of Death was originally implemented in early versions of Windows NT. Windows NT was capable of running on a variety of computers, including those with MIPS, PowerPC, and Alpha processors. On Alpha computers, the console that NT crashed could only display blue. Since they wanted a common crash indicator across all computers, the color blue was chosen for every platform, even if the color could have been something else.
