You see boys and girls, the reason you keep all things Windows away from your Mac is because of things like this.
Pictured below is an error that appeared on my MacBook Pro while running Windows XP inside Parallels. It happened suddenly and for no apparent reason (and the DAY AFTER a friend of mine told me it happened to him)!
Now, Apple tries to make this as plesant of an eXPerience as possible. When it happens, you first see a gray gradient transition on your screen from top to bottom, darkening your screen with every pass (kinda like an interlaced image would). Then, the error appears with only one option: reboot.
If I didn’t need Windows for Domino apps, I’d consider this to be an act of war and would promptly delete it from my system.

What people here are saying…
