Subject: [AccessD] Can anyone help me with this

My SQL Server (Windows 2008) reboots periodically.  Periodically implies
on a schedule so perhaps sporadically is a better description.  This has
been going on for years.  It will do so several times a day.

What I have discovered is that if I keep one of the cores busy, and I
use a script in SQL Server to do that, then it never reboots.

I read that Windows 2008 can be led to believe (accidentally in my case)
that it needs to reboot to finish an install or something of that
nature, and it will do so when the system is "idle".  By keeping a core
active, the system never does that reboot thing.  I do not know for sure
that this is what is going on but it absolutely makes sense.  In he
meantime I have to do this "keep a core active" thing or my server
reboots.  If anyone out there understands what is really going on and
how to tell Windows to knock it off, please contact me.

Thanks,
