>>>I was just siting here working when suddenly my PC rebooted. Now, after I start up, and while it's still sitting at the login screen, the Blue Screen of Death flashes and the PC reboots..It all happens very quickly wih no time to do anything. I can reboot in Safe Mode, but what do I do now?

In my experience, the ususally is caused by overheating, as in the cpu fan died, the power supply fan died, or the cpu or motherboard dies. I have seen it where there is a short between the case and the motherboard.

So I guess my analysis was correct!<g> I went by a client site today and they had the same "issue". I pulled the case cover and blew the dust out with some canned air. They are back in business. Glad it worked for you too!
