Techopedia explains Code Crash
When the software code being executed can no longer operate, the result is code crash. The crashed code can belong to a standalone application or a routine operating system service or operation. Code crash can occur for a number of reasons, but is mostly a result of:
- Buffer overflow
- Incorrect memory addressing
- Illegal instructions
- Accessing unauthorized system resources
- Accessing unallocated memory space
