THE NT SERVER 4.0 WITH SERVICE PACK 6 IS REBOOTING ITSELF EVRY 5 MINUTES OR SO AND RESTARTING. I HAVE CHANGED THE SETTING BUT NO LUCK. I NEED HELP URGENTLY.

This would have to be a hardware issue you are having. I've been working with NT 4.0 for 3 years now and I can't see this being NT related. My guess would be that you are having a power issue.

Is IIS installed on this computer? That whole red worm issue had my IIS servers restarting.

If not, then it does sound like a hardware issue. Check your power supply and fan, if it's getting too hot, it'll shut itself down. Also, do you have a UPS attached? check the battery level on that, too.

I'm not going to say "Rule out the hardware issue", but before replacing the server, check in your performance settings and see if your computer is set to reboot after a "Blue Screen" and if it is set to NOT take a memory dump.
You could just be having stop errors appear just after boot-up and your server is set to reboot without notifying you?
