I hope that this little piece of assembly code will help you.
The call to INT 19h sometimes causes the system to hang, because it only
reloads the bootstrap.  If you have something memory resident at this point,
it will not get cleared and usually cause the system to hang.  The above piece
of assembly code does a reboot after clearing relocated interrupts (usually
changed by memory resident programs) and resetting memory.  Cold boot will
cause the computer to go through the system memory check that is performed
during the POST (power-on self-test); warm boot is a <ctrl-alt-del>.
