[dba-Tech] Virus that causes frequent reboots

Does it just reboot the pc, or do you get a warning?

If it's a warning, I'd say that it was worth checking for viruses/mal-ware
etc. Don't trust just one program to do it either - for spyware, use Spybot
and Ad-Aware, and for viruses use Stinger (free and downloadable one shot
virus scanner) and maybe Panda online if you have a fast connection and you
don't want to pay for an AV solution at the moment.

I agree, I'd check the PS first.  Could be MOBO also.
