Not really. A supernova is when a massive star has used up all of it's hydrogen and because of the immense gravitation, the star is unable to support itself, and violently explodes as a supernova [See related]

A star is not really dead until it no longer emits energy. because of the size of the stars and the amount of latent energy, they can radiate energy for billions of years.

What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?

A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.
