Here's one:
This happened when I accidentally tried to boot a full GRUB .iso image as a kernel in Qemu. Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out what was causing it

I have a problem with old (24 y.o.) hardware. When I try to scroll in VESA (using fast memcpy), it starts the simulation of a broken display (color flooding and occasional strips). Just on this one, and only with my OS.
Can't really take a screenshot of it though, unfortunately

Some years ago, when I tried to write a native driver for the Intel integrated GPU of my old PC.
I was accidentally writing in text mode (0xb8000) after modesetting (or viceversa writing in the framebuffer while still in text mode, my memory of this particular bug is fuzzy)

Left on the stove for too long...

My OS dying in pretty boring way :/

Ported libjpeg-turbo but used it wrong

Craziest bug in my OS has been removed, but...
When paging error occurred in the OS, qemu actually crashes.

POV:

this is what happens when you turn a riva 128 off mid-frame by disabling the entire gpu. not my os but someone writing direct access code. the os was still active and they were able to acpi power down.

I'm working on the desktop being an own application and if it dies it looks funny. I know the partial screen refreshing is working though

This is how errors are shown in my current FPGA development:



An PCIe connected FPGA can really break anything in an OS, and in BIOS too. In the current scenario, a bug creates errors in a physical memory structure, which crashes the driver & application. I''ve also had crashes caused by writing to physical address zero, which makes the PC fail to boot.

Hey! recently I had crazy things happened so I share here:



This one was actually animated but I didn't record the animation

Doesn't it look like braille?
