Earlier this morning my automatic windows update (W2000) flashed and indicated an update was available. As is usual in such cases, I told it
to go ahead. It did its thing and told me it needed to reboot. I closed everything down, and rebooted. Four times in a row I got a blue
screen of death followed by a cryptic notice the winlogin had failed, then it would crash and I would get some kind of warning from the BIOS that some kind of failure had occured follwed by a reboot.
I eventually turned the power off and allowed it to reboot from a power off, which seemed to resolve the problem.
Not the kind of thing I want to happen out on the factory floor, where an operator might not realize that cycling the power was a viable option.
