    My approach to this is extremely unique. I turn my PC back on.

    Quickly log in on my other gaming machine while my first machine finishes rebooting and validating for corrupt game files.  :)

    Mine is similar to Wig's.  But I also get up and either go to the bathroom or grab a snack while it's rebooting.  Gotta be efficient :)

    I'm with Wig and Ranarius. Depending on the situation I might add a comment like "wow, this is going to be ugly"

    I routinely sacrifice small woodland creatures to the pagan god of computers and digital devices just so my PC never crashes.

    Adjust my overclock because that's about the only reason my PC ever crashes.

    What do you mean by 'one'.  I'm on all the lists.   /waves to the government watchers.

    I act like an adult....

    Then I normally fall asleep because I cried so much.

    I send it back to Driving School for a refresher course.

    It depends on the exact situation, but I would probably just be mumbling "don't die, don't die" over and over until I log back into Pantheon and see what happened to my group.

    Also, I really hope Pantheon has some kind of disconnect coping mechanisms, so you can jump right back into the [whatever it was the group was doing] without re-invites, etc.

    I dismount and mount again my GC,  because the MB pins are loose and it tends to timeout and freeze my whole computer.

     

    Old rig here.

    Grab a beer and a snack and prepare for a corpse run while rebooting...

    I usually just lose it. Fists on table and sorts. No hardware broken though, I'm glad I can constrain myself from that.

    If it's a known error, i'll recover quickly.

    Of course, trying to get the game back on as soon as possible.

    Long gone are the days of random crashes, at least for me. Now having power go out, that's another fine kettle of fish. I let my group know, try to wrap any short term goal, and shut down cleanly before the UPS goes dead. Go read an ebook on my tablet until the zaptricity is back.

    What is a PC crash? Windows doesn't crash  :)

    Time to build a new PC as the Crash of it hitting the ground from the 2nd floor, means not much will survive :)
