Ok, so I'm not being totally daft ;-)

Fair play then, that freezing issue sounds nasty.

You're right you do get more with a BSOD than a hard reset, dump file for a
start. I'm always paranoid about pushing the reset as didn't it used to fry
the chip if held too long. (In the old old days of turbo buttons?!!)

8-) It's a valid question, you know.

Well, reason for my question is that sometimes I encounter a
computer that has locked so hard, that a C-A-D won't help at all.
BSODing it on-demand might work then.

I'm also of the perception (am I wrong?) that BSODing a computer is
better than resetting it with the reset-button - it might save
something to the hd, which a hard reset won't allow/do.

HTH.
