Can someone explain to me why a system crashes, and the error message is displayed along with it in a blue screen especially for a Windows operating system and the various way how a system denotes this crash?
Understanding System Crash And Its Error Messages
When any application or the operating system itself malfunctions, it makes the OS to halt all applications and to display this error message. This problem usually occurs when there is something wrong with the memory or there is page fault. The operating system now basically takes control of the entire computer’s functioning. Typical error messages that you see when a system crashes are: segment load failure, illegal operation, violation of system integrity, access violation, etc.
It is better to run a Hardware Diagnostic tool to see for errors. The device that caused this error must be repaired or replaced immediately else this continuous crashing can cause loss of valuable information.

That’s a blue screen error you got there. If you installed a new hardware, remove it from your computer. Shut down your computer then remove the hardware from the motherboard. After this, restart the computer then try again. If this doesn’t work and you end up with the blue screen again, try restarting using the last known good configuration option.
Restart the computer then press F8 before the Windows logo appears. In “Advanced Boot Options” screen, scroll down and select “Last known good configuration” then hit Enter to boot. If this works, uninstall any program or driver you previously installed. If this doesn’t work and the blue screen is still there, restart in Safe Mode. Repeat the same steps to go to “Advanced Boot Options” screen.
Here, select “Safe Mode” then hit Enter. Log in with your administrator account or use the built-in “Administrator” account to log in. Once you are logged in, uninstall any program or driver you previously installed then restart the computer.
