Crashing computers? Sounds like a MS Windows man.
Yes. It is about Windows. He is a college student and works in tech. support for one of the local ISP.

I have seen keyboard lockups. They are supposed to time out. But I let one run once for 1 hour and finally rebooted and had to e2fsck to get the file system back.

May be it was just a matter of setting the time.
I read that Linux can be upgraded to RTOS - Real Time Operating System. One of the important features of any RTOS is a Time Watchguard. It reboots the system after a certain period of time if it got locked out.
