Can a program crash before entering main()? if yes, in what cases this could happen?

Answer 1

Depends on the platform. You never said in what you are programming. A lot of IDE's, not to mention object oriented frameworks do a whole lot of stuff before it ever hits main(). I find in most cases, you have the object order creation wrong, that is, you are trying to use an object in memory you have yet to allocate for, which will give you a run time fault every time. Check the order your units are being created. This would be in the make file for some languages like C. And if none of that makes any sense, you have some more reading to do about memory allocation.

mkay this happens with my pc all the time(windowsxp) and when its done with the stupid blue screen it restarts the computer...and i wait...and then when i turn it on again its fine, it should say that the system has recovered from a serious error and that you might want to reprt it, and if you report it,it takes you to microsoft.com and tells you what happend, waht caused it , and how to fix it, it usually is a program, or a virus, probably both.
If you have a driver crash, like if your playin world of warcraft, or if your hard drive fails, you may have to run a virus scan, or just deal with it.
another alternative is to throw your computer out the window, haha windows xp flies through windows made out of glass...haha anyway maybe you should take it to a maitenance shop and have someone look at it, or if your to cheap deal with it.

I compare my PC to a light bulb. Have you ever turned on a lamp and have the bulb flash then go out? I imagine that one day this will happen to my PC -- when -- you have no way of knowing and there will probably be no warning. That's why we are advised to backup our files to another device.
