As mentioned earlier, the insider builds of Windows 10 and later, as well as Windows Server 2016 and later, display a green screen. [26] [27] [24] Windows 10 and later (and Windows Server 2016 and later) also display an orange screen in an extremely rare case where a hardware issue with the GPU or a graphics driver problem is encountered.

The corresponding system routine in Windows 9x, named SHELL_SYSMODAL_Message, does not halt the system like bug checks do. Instead, it displays the infamous "blue screen of death" (BSoD) and allows the user to attempt to continue. The Windows DDK and the WinDbg documentation both have reference information about most bug checks. The WinDbg ...
On many operating systems, a fatal exception in a program automatically triggers a core dump. By extension, the phrase "to dump core" has come to mean in many cases, any fatal error, regardless of whether a record of the program memory exists.
The C++ standard library provides several levels of exception safety (in decreasing order of safety): [8] No-throw guarantee, also known as failure transparency: Operations are guaranteed to succeed and satisfy all requirements even in exceptional situations. If an exception occurs, it will be handled internally and not observed by clients.
The Screen of Death in Windows 10, which includes a sad emoticon and a QR code for quick troubleshooting A Linux kernel panic, forced by an attempt to kill init The Mac OS X kernel panic alert. This screen was introduced in Mac OS X 10.2, while the kernel panic itself was around since the Mac OS X Public Beta.
C does not provide direct support to exception handling: it is the programmer's responsibility to prevent errors in the first place and test return values from the functions.
The operating system then triggers an exception or signal in the application. Unix applications traditionally responded to the signal by dumping core. Most Windows and Unix GUI applications respond by displaying a dialogue box (such as the one shown in the accompanying image) with the option to attach a debugger if one is installed.
