(Miscellaneous Malfunctions: as this section really only involves "oddities involving email deletion" (and the virus) it's not really random.)

-
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 an obvious reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blue screen of death|blue screen of death]] that appears on Windows computers.

-
Some of Strong Bad's Computers are also known to [[Explosions|explode]] spontaneously. 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, such as deleting emails he wanted saved, and saving emails he wanted deleted).

-
Strong Bad's computers often have various malfunctions, sometimes due to [[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==
 
-
Eventually, [[The Paper]] and its printer would fall from an [[Hammerspace|unknown location]] above Strong Bad, breaking it. Strong Bad would eventually burn it. The printer's fate, however, is unknown.
