Under heavy load, SQL Server may not be able to orderly shut down in
time before NT says "Die, you, DIE!". In that case, your database will
be in a recovery mode when you restart SQL Server. If you manually
stop SQL Server before rebooting (and wait for it to stop), then you
are guranteed an orderly shutdown and can avoid the recovery issue.
