Default What else do you do when setting up a new Win10 desktop fromscratch?

Linux should try ALT+F1-6 virtual console first to fix, ore restart
gracefully. If that fails, the ol' REISUB. You have options before
hitting the power button with Linux. If the above fails I'd start
considering a hardware issue.


But if you saw the keyboard LEDs flashing, you probably
wouldn't be all that optimistic about recovery.

I've seen that maybe once or twice, and it doesn't happen
very often.

I think in all the time we used Solaris, we saw just one kernel
panic, and it was a simulation job using all 4GB of memory
on the machine (a machine tricked out with that much RAM
at the time). For most non-heroic situations, never a problem.

My WinXP machine has "bounced off the walls", but...
that was bad RAM.
