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. Below is a
Windows screen-shot showing the proper configuration.
