Recently I had a computer which doesn?t let me to do anything (installing an antivirus or run a check disk or edit the registry, etc).
I remove the original HDD from computer and I install on other HDD the same OS with an updated antivirus. I put the original HDD as slave in the same computer, I scan for viruses and I found Win32.Klez.E@mm worm. In this manner I was able to clean the original HDD and use it again without reinstall the OS.
Maybe you don?t have the same problem but this is a possibility to check your system.

You tried to use other account for logon to server?
I saw on one computer that one user has problems with Explorer (Doctor Watson) and other user not. There was a profile problem.

Also a bad driver (NIC or other card) can generate unexpected shut down. I received this error from a computer with a wrong driver for SB and other one with NIC driver.

First, in the control panel under the sytem properties there is a startup/shutdown tab. Check to see if the reboot option is checked when a error or stop occurs. You can uncheck that and this might help in your troublshooting. You may have a virus but if the reboot option is checked and a stop error occurs then the machine will reboot. Check the event viewer for more detailed info and also on the same tab there is a error or dump file location for further info.
