Windows Problem Reporting Is Not Responding While Reporting a Problem

Description

A screenshot of recursive Windows failure: two stacked classic Windows error dialogs. The back window is titled 'NVIDIA App (Not Responding)' with text 'NVIDIA App is not responding' and 'Hang on while Windows reports the problem to Microsoft...' above a partially filled progress bar. In front of it, a second dialog titled 'Windows Problem Reporting' declares 'Windows Problem Reporting is not responding' with the identical line 'Hang on while Windows reports the problem to Microsoft...', a green progress bar, and a Cancel button. The error-reporting tool has itself hung while reporting that the NVIDIA App hung, implying an infinite regress of crash reporters reporting on crash reporters

    The crash reporter needs a crash reporter; the base case is the Cancel button.

    You know it's serious or ridiculous when the windows itself crashes
