Some time I found my NT server restarted, events log id 6005 and 6009 appear in system log. Log full could be one of the reasons.

Are there other causes? I'd like to prevent such unexpected reboot events.

Thanks!

I'd like to know how can I prevent such unexpected reboot.

Thanks anyway.

With WinNT you can set your Event Viewer logs to automatically "Overwrite events as needed" or "Overwrite events older than x days" or you also have the option of increasing your log file size.

Any one of the above three options should prevent the system from rebooting when the log file is full

Configure your system not to reboot automatically upon an error. Copy down the error message(s) you see and then post that data. From there we can investigate the causes behind your rebooting.
Go to start/control panel/system and set the startup options. Make sure reboot is not checked. Now when the system encounters the error which is causing the reboot, the server will sit there until you have a chance to see what is causing the problem. It will probably be a 0x00000050 error.

Auto-reboot is not checked in the recovery options. However, your answer does give me some directions. Thanks!
