    I've had similar reboots happen with various flavors of OS's. My probs were related to a short in the cpu cooling fan. The fan would run fine at boot and then after about 10 - 30 minutes it would vibrate just enough to cause it to stop running. Then about 1-2 minutes later the cpu overheated and shut itself down causing a reboot.

    Heat is a bad thing. Check your fan connection. But then again it could be the HD or RAM or something else entirely. Good luck!

    I suspect your problem is probably one of the above but one thing not mentioned is the SP level. Have you installed any of the service packs ( they are now at SP3 )?

    We had a problem with a Win2k computer rebooting by itself, but we found out that it was someone using that SMB die tool.
