In Game Consoles
A black screen can be encountered on numerous other computer systems such as the Nintendo GameCube if the game disc is dirty or damaged or if there is an internal problem with the system such as an illegal operation. The message that displays on-screen is "An error has occurred. Turn the power off and check the Nintendo GameCube instruction booklet for further instructions."
A notable appearance is on the original Playstation and PSOne. If a corrupted, dirty, or copied disc is inserted in the console, the Sony logo stays on longer, than fades to a mainly black screen with a scary noise. The error is commonly referred to as "Personified Fear", although a variant plays 3 notes over and over very softly, and this variant is called "Fearful Harmony".
