>To stop the auto restart right click my computer for
system properties, click the advanced tab, then select the
Startup and Recovery settings button, and uncheck that box
under System Failure. Then reboot into safe mode or use
the "msconfig.exe" tool and select diagnostic startup.
This should give you more time to check your Event Viewer
for errors and warnings listed. If the Remote Procedure
Call service fails, it does a restart automatically. Also
over heating and/ or a faulty power supply can do this.
