[dba-Tech] Virus that causes frequent reboots

A heat problem, either with the CPU or graphics card can cause spontaneous
reboots.  If this problem just surfaced recently...I've seen instances where
a heat problem was not detected until the A/C had been shut off and the heat
turned on for the season.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Virus that causes frequent reboots


Maybe I got bit recently. But my win2k box reboots frequently, sometimes 
when I'm nowhere near it and just watching tv in the same room. I use 
AVG but it can't find anything amiss. Are there any known signs (files 
etc.) that evince the presence of that virus/worm that causes frequent 
reboots?

I just got finished re-installing everything and I'd hate to have to do 
it all over again.

It seems that no matter what sort of burner I buy, I'm still way behind. 
My fave box has twin 80GB drives and a single sided DVF burner. Reminds 
me of the days of FastBack floppy backups. Insert Disk #82. Sheesh.
