You can custom configure Windows to reboot if a service fails X number of times. It's pretty easy to disable, too.

Exactly what I thought.


If you really believe programs never crash in linux, you're sorely mistaken.

I imagine OSX is the same, but I don't have much experience with it other than the lab computers.

i have bonzi buddy and kazaa and gator and norton antivirus running 24/7 and it restarts about once an hour, i think its windows. i have 128mb of ram, just like microsoft says i should. all my programs take up 2gb of ram but its ok since i have a 3gb page file on my 4gb quantum fireball hard drive. i have a pentium processor, so that cant be teh problem since they are high performance beests. what is wrong with my computor?

*sarcasm meter bursts into flames*
 
honestly, you are a noob.

mine is overclocked, running a bleeding edge NF4 motherboard and SLI and dont get those.

try monitoring things with mobo monitor..
try the latest motherboard drivers ect
try a new PSU, new ram and new cabling.


and actually investigate whats causing the error.. (hint- its not bill gates.. he's not going to make software that makes your brain grow so you can use a computer)
