what happens when the windows kernel encounters an error it cannot resolve
I have heard from someone that if unprotected memory goes beyond a safe wall in kernel mode then hardware can be damaged.
Is this true?
If not what does happen when an error does occur in kernel mode?
Blue Screens of Death happen in Kernel Error situations. This is exactly why the BSOD is generated: to protect from hardware damage by freezing the system. 'Error that it cannot resolve' is kind of ambiguous. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED is usually generated in the case of unknown errors. You question should be more accurate though.
