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.

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.
