If you "create major problems" you should "troubleshoot major problems". I
see a potential loop in your methology. Something like the following:
router eigrp 100
red ospf 1 metric 10000 10 255 1 1500
<major problem in routing table discovered>
end
reload
<after 10 minutes and the router is back up>
router eigrp 100
red ospf 1 metric 10000 10 255 1 1500
<major problem in routing table discovered>
end
reload
<after 10 minutes and the router is back up>
enable
conf t
router eigrp 100
red ospf 1 metric 10000 10 255 1 1500
<major problem in routing table discovered>
end
reload
<after 10 minutes and the router is back up>
enable
conf t
router eigrp 100
red ospf 1 metric 10000 10 255 1 1500
<major problem in routing table discovered>
end
reload
<after 10 minutes and the router is back up>
.

hmmmm.... I am out time for my lab...
go home
wait 8 hours
get email
log onto website
see that I failed again!
Seriously though, I wouldn't reload except as a last resort. I save my
configs as often as I can remember almost after every command or every task.
