Well, not necessarily...try this: in the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\i8042prt\Parameters, create a new DWORD called CrashOnCtrlScroll, set it to 1, and restart. Press and hold right-control, then double-tap scroll lock.

You'll be the proud owner of a BSOD, initiated directly from the GUI.

Other ways to cause BSODs from within Windows involve bad drivers, unhandled exceptions, and the like. Trust me when I say that they can happen at any time.

Now, as to whether or not it was a BSOD, or just the Windows Error Reporting box, he can tell us. Edit: He just did....
