Technical Details

I installed the latest Microsoft updates last night, things went as they should, and then I turned off my machine (it gets a little warm in the office these days)

Only to wake up to my first system crash sans blue screen of death, it just spontaneously rebooted. I wasn’t doing much to stress the system either, reading blogs, email, listening to ATI FM radio and I had an ssh session going.

To that end, I’m blaming the MS’Tards for this instability. so I’d be wary of applying the patch until we here more about what’s happening out in the wild. Hopefully, there will be a patch to follow shortly.

Caveat emptor.

Update:

So far no more spontaneous reboots, but I’m always very wary when machines do strange things.

Update II:

Things are still fine which is reassuring, I’ve decided to upgrade my laptop we’ll see how things progress.
