C drive keeps filling up, clears after a reboot

[JLC]

For the last few days, my C drive will mysteriously fill up with
(320GB), when I should have approx. 210GB of free space. After I do a
reboot, the C drive is clear again.


I tried scanning several different ways for viruses/spyware/etc. and
haven't found anything. I've also seen some forum posts mentioning log
files getting out of control, but not sure what to look for.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

What are the file extensions of the files being created?

What are their filenmaes? Is there a pattern?

What directories are these files being created in?

I'm not sure......I can't find any files. I've checked all of the main
directories to see if any are HUGE, but no luck, everything looks
normal.

Sorry, I'm still digging for more info.....
