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!
Did a chkdsk /r and low and behold found a hardware error. Now its time to troubleshoot. Thanx for the help all. I noticed that one of the posts said it might be a trojan. How would i go about checking for a trojan????
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 )?
Im all up to date with all service packs. Ill let everyone know what the problem is when i figure it out.
We had a problem with a Win2k computer rebooting by itself, but we found out that it was someone using that SMB die tool.
