Please note: I attempted to send this on the 6th of Nov but it never showed
up to my knowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only one crash so far but quite annoying.

My entire 24" monitor screen went red with a white <I think> message
that said something to the effect that a Hardware shutdown ~~~

The screen went blank and then Vista re-booted. Never had a real chance to
read what happened. and that was it.

Went to device manager and nary a Yellow Exclamation mark to be found.

I would like to stop Vista from the instant reboot if possible, so that if
there are any further problems the problem will remain visible until "I"
restart the machine.

Is this possible <?>, and if so please be careful to explain is reasonable
simple terms how to accomplish the task to this 80 year old.
