Ivan,
Any error messages in the Event Log (Control Panel - Administrative
Tools)?
Any error being flashed onscreen just before the restart? Maybe "NT
Authority..." or "RPC..."?
Check for cooling problems. Are all the fans on the computer running,
with clean filters? Open the case. Is there a clean airflow within?
Cheers,
Chuck
