Windows NT 4.0 Startup and Shutdown

On a real machine with a soundblaster connected to some decent speakers. I thought I'd make this since some people may just want to see the startup and shutdown of mine and there aren't that many good videos of it as of the time I am uploading this. I'm not sure why but the camera decided to change the white balance for ten seconds.

It's retroactively ironic that the dreaded 'BSOD' is simply the Windows NT boot screen displaying crash dump info. I wonder how many folks getting into retro computing had to change their undies after they first installed NT 4.0 and saw that screen. Lmao.

I bet people got hella spooked when that screen came up in the 90s xD

I was born in 2002 but the history of Windows always fascinated me. I used to play with historic Windows versions in MS Virtual PC 2007 as a child LOL

Love that startup sound

[@Nebula-oh4sg]

The shutdown sound it's the startup sound but reversed

Even though computers were not impressive in terms of performance back then, they definitely had a presence you could feel walking into a room.

15khz CRT noise wasn't a thing since VGA monitors.

384 MB Memory? Is this machine from NASA?
This was immense at the time before Windows 2000 (NT 5.0), i.e. < '99!

Even after you shut it down, you got the message that says "it's now safe to turn off your computer".
