The Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel applet was replaced by the Maintenance section of the Action Center on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.. A new app, Problem Steps Recorder (PSR.exe), is available on all builds of Windows 7 and enables the collection of the actions performed by a user while encountering a crash so that testers and developers can reproduce the situation for analysis ...
Crashpad is an open-source crash reporter used by Google in Chromium. It was developed as a replacement for Breakpad due to an update in macOS 10.10 [12] which removed API's used by Breakpad. Crashpad currently consists of a crash-reporting client and some related tools for macOS and Windows, and is considered substantially complete for those ...
In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU. In a multiprocessor system, there is one idle thread associated with each CPU core. For a system with hyperthreading enabled, there is an idle thread for each logical processor.
A Blue screen of death as displayed in Windows XP, Vista, and 7 A kernel panic as displayed in OS X Mountain Lion. An operating system crash commonly occurs when a hardware exception occurs that cannot be handled.
In some cases, the CPU will shut itself off once passing a thermal limit to avoid permanent damage. But they can also be caused by bus errors introduced by other failing components, like memory or I/O devices. Possible causes include: Poor CPU cooling due to a CPU heatsink and case fans (or filters) that's clogged with dust or has come loose.
As of Linux 6.10, drm_panic was merged allowing DRM drivers to support drawing a panic screen to inform the user that a panic occurred. This allows a panic screen to appear even when a display server was running when the panic occurred. [15] As of Linux 6.12, drm_panic was extended where the stack trace can be encoded as a QR code.

Executable space protection on Windows is called "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP). Under Windows XP or Server 2003 NX protection was used on critical Windows services exclusively by default. If the x86 processor supported this feature in hardware, then the NX features were turned on automatically in Windows XP/Server 2003 by default. If the ...
Processor exceptions generated by the CPU have fixed mapping to the first up to 32 interrupt vectors. [1] While 32 vectors (0x00-0x1f) are officially reserved (and many of them are used in newer processors), the original 8086 used only the first five (0-4) interrupt vectors and the IBM PC IDT layout did not respect the reserved range.
