Weird. The only time I've ever seen NT reboot, rather the BSOD was
when the setting reboot on stop was set. This is handy for servers.
Every time your machine BSOD, it reboots, and then carries on working
again.
It can be really anoying when you get a BSOD before you've even had a
chance to log in. That happened to me once. I installed a new network
driver, rebooted the machine. It got to the log in box, and then
rebooted. This just carried on and on and on. What fun.
