Same thing happened to me.
My whole high schools yearbook was on one dead hard drive. So they came to me asking them to help them. Luckilly I was able to find the same hard drive and replaced the logic board. And in the end, we recieved our yearbooks on time.
To change this setting you go to the control panel then system properties. You then click the advanced tab. Then click the settings under the startup and recovery box. There should be a x that you can unclick the box that makes the computer automatically restart.
You can change a setting so that the computer doesn't reboot itself. It is a safety feature built in so people that don't know what they are doing, won't damage their machine anymore than it already has.
to get all the programs I actually use daily I would have to reboot several times per day
Umm duhh Its called a laptop. You don't use it constintely throughtout the day and if you are, why don't you just buy a desktop (a little cheaper plus easier to upgrade) You should turn it off when you are moving it and its not in use. Plus, if you use it daily wouldn't you want something it little bigger for less eye strain.

How many programs are you running? Do you you install a new program everyday? If you do then how much hard drive space left to do the things that you want?
(and believe me, your problems are quite uncommon)
and why should i believe you? are you some great god of the mac world? This isn't an isolated insadent. Everyone that i talk to that use macs say that theirs have crashed on them many times. And I thought Macs never crash?? Ha ha (believe me you are a blumbling idiot!)
3 of them are G4 and the other one is a 17" iMac (the newest one and the one that crashes the most) 2 of the G4s and the iMac are running os X and the other one is using os 9. I also forgot to mention that we use two other macs that are really old, for teleprompters. They aren't to bad for running the small telepromting software. Now I still wonder why in the heck would you even have the smallest thought of putting 1800 into such a obsolete piece of hardware. I am looking at a Dell laptop with double the cpu and even greather specs on everything else. Plus it is $400 less than what you are willing to pay for a powerbook, but i guess when you get sick of using it you can make an apple pie with it. http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/06/ 1447229&mode=thread&tid=133&tid=180
Macs suck!! I work with 4 different mac computers and one windows nt computer in my video and computer graphics class. All four on the macs have crashed on me more than once; however, the windows nt (the computer i use the most) has never crashed on me once. The macs crash consistently on me sometimes not even allowing me to restart without unplugging and plugging it back in. Also, I have a windows xp platform running on my own computer which has stayed on and never crashed for the past 10 months. The only problem i had on my computer was not enough hard drive space. SO i easily installed a new hard drive which is working perfectly. Also, who in the heck is mac os x designed for. When ever i work on the macs i feel like i am working on something that was designed for preschool children. The only reason i would ever consider buying a mac would be because macs have Final Cut Pro. Windows are really the way to go!!
