sounds like a processor overheat or a memory issue... thats a shot in the dark with the info you gave though
could be software bug, virus, a specific hardware issue, dying power supply, improper power / fluctuations... and suchif it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

Are you in Win2k? If so, there's a default control panel option that reboots on error. Instead of getting blue screens, it'll reboot. Also be sure to check all the previously mentioned items as well!the fresh princess of 1338
What did I do to make you think I give a shit?

One of the startup/recovery options in your system applet, if I remember right...
if only there was a "don't fry on heavy utilization" option for my laptop (compaq presario 700, be wary, many instances of overheating durons)if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud; and I'm gonna go there free.

I have a server that shuts down. It won't reboot. It shuts down ecery Saturday. Turns out that they turn off the air conditioner before the weekend. Log shows a high temperature of 213F, that's mighty hot. Think that might be a teensy issue?

I'd have to say that the likelyhood of it being heat in that situation is VERY high. There are a few things you can do about it though.
One thing would be to have at least a one inch space between each of the boxes on the rack, this allows for better airflow.
Another thing you could do would be to pick up a rackmount fan unit and mount it behind the offending box.
The best thing to do would be to get to rackmount fans AND seperate the boxes by an inch or so and mount the fans in the at the spaces between the computers.
Hope thins helps a little.
