More Info: Windows Blue Screen

By definition, when Windows crashes (e.g., blue screen) something catastrophic has occurred and Windows itself cannot recover. The integrity of all of Windows is in question, including interrupt handling, the kernel, and device drivers. Thus, continued operation of a real-time driver or subsystem that is encapsulated within the Windows kernel, following a Windows crash, is unreliable at best, and will likely result in failure of the real-time subsystem and all of its processes.
