Windows will usually freeze when getting a dreaded 'Blue Screen of Death' (BSOD). Changing this setting will force Windows to automatically reboot when it crashes instead.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Change the value of 'AutoReboot' to equal '1' for automatic reboot, or '0' for disabled.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Note : This function can also be enabled from 'Control Panel -> System -> Startup/Shutdown -> Automatically Reboot'. This feature is enabled by default on NT server, and disabled on NT Workstation.

| System Key : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl] Value Name : AutoReboot Data Type : REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data : (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled) |
