Thank you for the suggestion, coincidentally I thought of doing that after my last reboot. Hope it works out good.
I created this thread to make people aware of this problem, not for me, but for people who want to run nodes and might find this annoying. Nodes are always welcomed. This resync takes nearly 12 hours on my fast computer.
Crashes are rare on stable and fine tuned systems... Probably a good idea to switch OS if you want to run a node without any problems
I don't think I've ever unexpectedly restarted or turned off in the last 2 years of this Windows 8 build. I've black screened many a time, but it seems to still be able to shut itself down. Saying that, I too have also had to reindex a few times recently without unusual shutdowns or crashes. Is it possible there was a bug introduced?
