Windows automatic rebooting due to faulty code

[Ronak Dhakan]

I am learning python, and sometimes when I run a file with a faulty, windows gives a message that the system is rebooting and gives me 1 minute to save my work. Does anyone know how can I fix this? Most of the time a faulty code gives errors in python, but this is unique. I create files like Exercise 1.2.py and run it through IDLE.

I'm very much surprised that any Python coding error could do this.
What code triggers this? Is it consistent?

More likely it's something else in your system. Pure coincidence.

Even I am surprised, python errors should stay in python. But I am sure that the reboot is triggered exactly when I run some faulty code. And usually I change the code after reboot, so I haven't checked whether the same code is able to repeat the reboot. This happens even in simple code of 10-15 lines for drawing a polygon.

Aim for consistency and reproducibility. Figure out something that
always brings Windows down. More importantly... *tell us what modules
you are using*. What draws a polygon here? What are you working with?
That's kinda critical here, especially if (as I suspect) it's not part
of the Python standard library.

and read it all in your email client, or read comp.lang.python in a
real newsreader. That'll fix several other problems too.

It is a small file to draw an approximate circle using Turtle. The reboot does not happen consistently. Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/8T3aRCEd

I was thinking whether there is a way to run python in a virtual environment.

Check colinux or VMWARE.

Try on different machine. Maybe hardware or driver issue

from swampy.TurtleWorld import *
world = TurtleWorld()

This is not the turtle module in the stdlib. It is most like the source
of your reboot problem. Report your problem to the author. Also try
running your example in the Windows console. (Not nearly as nice, I
know.) There might possibly be a bad interaction with Idle.

Almost certainly you are experiencing a hardware fault. Possibly bad
RAM. Windows will not let user-space code crash the operating system.
Though user-space code could trigger something in the kernel that then
faults. This is likely what's happening here. But the real cause is
probably hardware. If it's not RAM, then it might be video hardware
failing.

Or the computer has been infected by malware.
