What is the famous Windows crash screen called?

The Blue Screen of Death is also known as the BSOD. It's the most famous screen of death. It's from 1985 in Windows 1.0. In Windows 1 through Windows 3.0, it had random characters. Now, since 2012, it has had a sad emoticon and a line saying that the PC/phone ran into a problem, and it needs to restart. In the 1990s, it displayed information about the error. In the 2000s, it stayed the same, but with a few improvements.

Hence the famous computer haiku: Windows NT crashed. I am the blue screen of death. No one hears your screams.

Diane Lyons Stout, BSOD didn't destroy any data files. It was an OS crash

As a devoted Apple user, I ask, How do you make a PC (Windows) crash? Turn it on. I used Windows because it was part of my job, I have a Mac because of its ease of use.
