FAA orders Boeing 787 safety fix
The FAA is mandating that operators of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner periodically reset the power on the airplane to avoid a glitch that could cause all three computer modules that manage the jet’s flight control surfaces to stop working while in flight.

Damn Windows programs.
This aircraft has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, call the aircraft vendor.

I thought I read about this problem over a year ago?
You probably did. This item is that the FAA published the AD 12/2/16. A link to it is in the thread.
Thanks Joel!
All I can think of that may relate is the infamous "Windows Blue Screen of DEATH!!!"
I was on a flight from DSM to ORD one winter evening. We were on takeoff roll when the takeoff was aborted. The cockpit crew announced that they had a computer problem and they had to trouble shoot it. The aircraft had to be rebooted. Sitting there on a regional jet, in the dark, silent in the cold waiting 20 minutes until they could reboot.
The worst part was that we needed deicing again, and the deicing crew went home when the plaNe left the gate.
Most interesting flight in a while!
