I take it that you didn't bother to read my original post.  I was 
talking about a computer hanging while processing an interrupt with 
interrupts disabled.  Not something that's likely to happen because of a 
simple page fault or other error, or even at all.[1]  Think of it as a 
black swan: something that's not supposed to exist, but does, once in a 
great while.  Fixing it doesn't require a BIOS reset, just restarting 
the computer, and under the circumstances, that generally requires[2] 
pulling the plug.

[1]That's the type of bug that's supposed to be swatted before the BIOS 
goes into production.
