One possibility may a buffer over or under run : In such a way that it is
executing
a reboot code , either in OI or from BIOS .

If it is possible to determine which program is causing the reboot , it may
be possible to
find exact reason .

If there is a facility to export a trace of programs to a different
computer through a serial or another port , studying the stored log in
another computer may reveal last executed
point .


Thank you very much .
