It depends on the nature of the error.

For example a segmentation fault in a C++ program causes the program to stop working.

A logical error making a while loop always run causes the program to repeat whatever is in that loop, often needlessly.

A hardware error can cause anything from a complete crash to an exception throw to running slow.

This list can go on as long as one wishes.
