but shouldn't windows be able to automaticly detect a lockup and end the offending program?


It can, you just have to enable it. I don't remember where you can enable it, but System Mechanic has an option that can enable this for you, and there is a API call you can use if you write a small program. You will have to dig deep into MSDN to find it, though.


There is another setting for it, that is always enabled, and cannot be disabled. Sometimes, when I have allot of spyware, and run Ad-Aware, this little window pops up says the computer will be shutdown in 60 seconds. Maybe cause a certain file has been opened up.

And when my PSU failed on my old computer, it gave me a warning that in 5 minutes your computer will shutdown and crash.
