Whose idea was it to show the Blue Screen of Death right after I saved nothing?

My computer decided to throw a Blue Screen of Death at the worst possible moment, right after I had spent time working on something without saving a single thing. I could only stare at the screen, wondering why Windows chose that exact moment to crash instead of giving me a warning or a chance to save my progress, and now I am left trying to figure out what caused the sudden failure and how to prevent this frustrating disaster from happening again.
