It depends on your particular OS as to how this reported fatal error will be handled when the Restart function is selected. If you are using
Windows XP/2000 there is a setting that can be enabled to ensure that the OS will perform a restart when a fatal error is detected. After a very
brief blue-screen the system will restart.
You can enable this setting buy going to the “System Properties” dialog box and choosing the “Advanced” tab. Once there choose the “Settings”
button for the “Startup and Recovery” section. This will open the “Startup and Recovery” dialog box. In this dialog box under “System failure”
there are three check boxes that define what Windows will do when a fatal error has been detected. In order to ensure that the system restarts
after a ‘Watchdog ACPI Event” that is set to ‘Restart’, you must make sure that the check box for the selection “Automatically restart” has been
checked. If this option is not selected then Windows will remain at a blue-screen after a ‘Watchdog ACPI Event” that has been configured for
‘Restart’ has been generated. The following is a Windows screen-shot showing the proper configuration.
