It should be impossible for a VFP EXE to reboot a PC unless it specifically accesses the appropriate Windows APIs. Even a corrupt EXE or runtime DLL should not reboot the PC; at worst you should get a protection fault from Windows.

A few ideas:

- Check the System and Application Event Logs to see if anything relevant is getting logged
- Run CHKDSK on the volume that contains your EXE, correct any errors it may find
- Check if the PC is infected with a virus or other malware that might be interfering with normal loading of EXEs
- If it seems clean, try running with antivirus real-time scanning disabled
- When a program loads, it allocates RAM memory. If that RAM memory is bad the PC may reboot. You can test the memory with free tools such as MemTest86: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html
- Check that the video driver is up-to-date and exactly correct for the actual video hardware
