I have a machine on our office network running windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP6 also running Novel Client 4.6 sp2. The problem I'm am having is this machine has all of a sudden (been working fine previously) started to reboot it self automaticly, I originally thought it was sometine in our lotus notes program that was doing it but it does it without Notes running also. There seems to be no common denominator does it while working in Office programs, using windows explorer, or sometimes just logging in. Any help or I deas would be appreciated, I have not reloaded NT yet but im leaning towards that.
 
On thing to keep in mind is if the cpu (or other components) overheat it can cause the computer to reboot or shutdown. Usaully though overheating will cause a shutdown until it cools off, maybe take a look and make sure all the fans are running correctly and all heatsinks a still attached.
 
Does it report any errors in Event Viewer? -----------------------------------------------------
