Continuous rebooting problem

thanks Chad, I'll give that a try. BTW, I didn't think to check the Admin
event log earlier. This entry was shown before each reboot(there are several
suspect entries, but this one is identical)

"The SL UI Notification Service service was successfully sent a start
control."

That entry is followed by another one a few minutes later

"The previous system shutdown at 4:04:54 AM on 6/29/2006 was unexpected"

Although not directly related by title, I find doing the simple steps in
this article also help. Sometimes what seem to be random restarts are
admixed with failure to shut down during the random restarts:

Also go to devmgmt.msc >expand the plus at Universal Bus Serial
Controllers>right click each "universal root hub
entry">properties>power>take check out of box " "Allow this computer to turn
off this device to save power."
