Then you have bad device drivers, or you are running software with OS
privileges that contains bugs.

Look for common characteristics of the situations in which you observe a
reboot (especially particular programs running, or particular hardware
devices in use).

It's a matter of user education; it has nothing to do with the OS.  I
haven't used systmatic rebooting to fix problems since the 16-bit
Windows 3.x (the old Windows 9x family of operating systems could get
stuck that way, but I went directly to NT myself and never bothered to
waste my time with Windows 95).
