Editing Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning

Nearly every [[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|computer]] that [[Strong Bad]] has owned has '''malfunctioned''' at some point, and they have done so in some famously tragic ways, most often with a Flagrant System Error or by exploding (the latter ending the computer's run to be replaced by a newer, better, but [[Strong Bad's Technology|still obsolete]] version).

==System Errors==

The '''System Error''' screen appears whenever Strong Bad's computer crashes. It is a direct reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blue screen of death|blue screen of death]] that appears on Windows computers.

===Flagrant System Error===

==Strong Bad's Computers Exploding==
[[Image:sbemail33.PNG|thumb|YOUR TANDY A SPLODE]]
Some of Strong Bad's computers are also known to [[Explosions|explode]], whether spontaneously or by outside forces. Probably the most famous of these explosions was the first explosion of the [[Tandy 400]], which was later fixed (though it still had some malfunctions afterward).

===Appearances===
*Email [[gimmicks]] ([[Tandy]]; this is shown again in a flashback in [[personal favorites]] and [[hremail3184]])
*Email [[invisibility]] (Tandy, as shown in flashback in hremail3184)
*Email [[virus]] (Compy; not in the original but shown in a flashback in hremail3184, exploded when Bubs shot a hole in it)
*[[Biz Cas Fri 3]] (Corpy NT6, puppet style)
*Email [[retirement]] (Tandy, purposely destroyed by Strong Bad and Homestar; Compy, while in [[Strong Mad]]'s mouth)
*Email [[hremail3184]] ([[Lappy]]; purposely destroyed by Strong Bad through use of a self-destruct button)

==Miscellaneous Malfunctions==
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|WAAGH! That is not a small number! That is a ''BIG'' number!]]
Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes involving [[gimmicks|explosions]] or [[The Virus|viruses]].

===Appearances===
*Email [[sisters]] &mdash; The Tandy spontaneously deletes Strong Bad's email, then saves another email when Strong Bad tries to delete it.
*Email [[virus]] &mdash; The Compy refuses to delete the virus email, reports more than 400,000 viruses, then blue-screens before the contents of the screen pour onto the carpet.

==The Paper==
Following 172 emails of service, [[The Paper]] and its printer fell from an [[Hammerspace|unknown location]] above Strong Bad, breaking it as predicted in the email [[montage]]. After a few moments of reminiscing, Strong Bad burned the paper, in accordance with its last wishes. It was almost immediately replaced by an inkjet printer and the [[New Paper]]. The Paper came back in [[email thunder]] to beat up the New Paper, but since it got burned, its current fate is unknown. In [[hremail3184]], the Lappy's explosion destroyed one of the Papers, but it's unknown for sure which one.

===Appearances===
*Email [[the paper]]
*Email [[hremail3184]]
