Microsoft consitently calls this a bug check and not a Bugcheck in its most recent ddk and windbg documentation. I suggest the title be changed.
This article is poorly written, contains numerous inaccuracies and mostly duplicates information in
Blue Screen of Death. I propose this article be deleted and replaced with a reference to that article. --

When it reaches a point "where it cannot operate safely."? Can someone rewrite this to explain a little better as to how it knows something is unsafe? The OS is not an intelligence that can make a judgement call!
Also, what actually IS meant with unsafe? Loss of data likely? Computer suddenly starts smoking? Windows calculator starts claiming PI is equal to 3? Would be great if someone who understands this better than I could take my comments and clear that up. Ingolfson 08:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
This article makes it sound like drivers deliberately crash the operating system with functions such as KBUgCHeck, when in reality that rarely if ever happens - system crashes are usually due to errors in the driver code (segfault-like, and of course others). 173.57.168.60 ( talk) 19:16, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
In Windows 3.x and Windows 9x you can "press any key to continue" if a BSOD occurs. More often then not the system runs normal after this, but it can also crash or display a BSOD gain short afterwards. -- MrBurns ( talk) 17:31, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
There is a duplicate article at Crash (computing). This article describes the logical process and names specific routines. The Crash article describes the appearance to the user.
Should we propose a merge or somehow differentiate? Should we put it to a vote? Stephen Charles Thompson ( talk) 00:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
@ Guy Harris: I think a 'kernel panic' is what a fatal system error on Unix and *NIX systems goes by. So the kernel panic article is supposed to be a specialised article about the fatal system errors on *NIX and Unix? While this is the general article on fatal system errors across operating systems?
I'll try to see if 'kernel error' and 'kernel panic' are synonymous for fatal errors on *NIX or not, in the former case I think it's right for my edit to be reinstated here. — I'llbeyourbeach ( talk) 19:17, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
