This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

not entirely true

Windows (non-server versions, obviously) itself isn't intended to be a 24/7 server. Furthermore, anyone can write programs, with little or no quality control - lazy/poor coding leads to memory leaks, which can lead to system resources being entirely consumed and rendered unfreeable.

You could recode the program, I suppose - that would be the proactive and responsible thing to do - or you could accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world, and just reboot the fucking machine.
