look for a dumb file *.dmp // a full dump if exists should be in winnt or if you are setup for a mini dump look in winnt\minidump. also check your bios logs if any for a hardware failure

I had a couple of win2000 servers mysteriously rebooting themselves. Research gave me the possibility that the hard drives might be fragmented. After I defragmented the drives, neither server reboots itself anymore. Strange, but true.

Hi,
Could be a problem by any hardware. I've had the same problem by graphic card. Try to start in VGA mode then create hardware profiles and disable any special hardware in the profile.
Reboot and look if it works. If yes enable hardware part by part.
It would be helpfull to know where the reboot assigns.
It tooks long time to find, but if it works ;-))
