Almost certainly you are experiencing a hardware fault. Possibly bad
RAM. Windows will not let user-space code crash the operating system.
Though user-space code could trigger something in the kernel that then
faults. This is likely what's happening here. But the real cause is
probably hardware. If it's not RAM, then it might be video hardware
failing.
