boot - Can booting Windows from GRUB cause BSOD?

Since installing Ubuntu 16.04 as a dual-boot setup with Windows 10 I'm having frequent blue screens of death in Windows (about 5 per day).


All the error codes are related to a problem in Windows kernel.


Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

The problem occurs only when I boot Windows from GRUB. If I boot Windows directly through the UEFI boot menu, I get no BSODs.


I've read that Ubuntu can put some hardware into a specific physical state and Windows then can't properly access it, and a cold reboot is required.


So my question is: does GRUB have the capability to temporarily corrupt hardware?
