Can an unhandled exception in a C# application cause a blue screen of death?
Not unless you’re dealing with unmanaged resources like raw memory access. (In which case the Exception isn’t likely the cause)
.NET Exceptions will be caught by the runtime environment. You can crash your PROGRAM but not the OS.
In my experience the only things that cause BSOD’s are bad drivers, and hardware errors. (This of course is not an extensive list of the causes of BSOD, but that’s the first place I look.)
