Times you freaked, but then the problem went away.

Years ago I was working for a small charity. I thought I'd managed to break their PC because it'd restart every time something was sent to the printer.

After a good few hours of testing I discovered it was a power problem. The laserprinter firing up would leave insufficient power on the mains circuit for the PC to run, so it'd drop out. It dropping out would stop the print job so it'd boot up again.
