A good computer freeze
My laptop was in the freezer last night. And freezing the computer actually worked. It was like this: I was writing an email and suddenly the thing shuts off. It starts up again, but the monitor dies. I spent a half-hour starting and stopping the darn thing, including plugging it into another monitor. But the monitor, and later the computer, always dies.
Finally I plug in my older laptop, where I get to a website suggesting that perhaps the thing is just too warm. The heat causes the computer to shut down. So into the freezer it went, and out it came 10 minutes later, working perfectly.
