I appreciate the help. My re-start problem seemed to start
slowly. I have submitted the report it generates to
microsoft and it has come back as a device driver problem.
I have deleted or disabled as many drivers as I could and
it still seems to happen. I cannot repeat the restarting
problem and it does not matter what program I am using nor
the length of time. It can happen 1 minute into my work or
2 hours. The only thing I can say for sure is when it
restarts either by itself or when I restart it it will not
run. It gets to the desktop and then restarts on its own.
It will do this until it gives me the option to startup in
safe mode. When I shut it down then it will restart
normaly. But it will restart with no warning at an
unpredictable point.

That could be several problems, none of which a reinstall would necessarily
solve.

I suspect you have looked through your Device manager for any conflicts?

Also, you have gone to each manufacturer web site (for your video card,
motherboard, network card, modem, sound card, cd drive, DVD drive, zip
device, monitor, etc..) and made sure you have the latest drivers downloaded
and installed for each of your devices?

Also, it sounds like possible bad RAM to me. If you have access to RAM of
the same type, try replacing yours with that temporarily. See if it is bad
RAM.

Another thing that COULD cause this is heat. Is your computer enclosed in a
desk with only one or two ways for heat to escape? Move it out into the
open and open one side. May even want to place a fan blowing into the
opened case temporarily - to see if that helps any.
