Computer reboots automatically

[Jim]

Computer reboots itself after being off for about a minute or two. I did
disable "automatic restart on system failure" but I've not been able to find
a stop error report.

I thought this problem was corrected but it seem to have returned.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Check your BIOS and make sure these settings:
Wake On LAN
Wake WAN.. etc.
Also have a look in the Event Viewer for error message to see what the
causer and post the error message in your next post.
How old this machine?, it could be the Power button stuck try to loosen it
from its socket.
Also it could be the cause of unclean /inconsistent current from the power
supply.
HTH.

Looks like it may have been the WOL settings on the NIC card. So far it no
longer re-boots but will keep an eye on it to be sure.

Thanks all.
