Random reboot

[KVWire]

My computer randomly reboots when not in use. Sometimes in the early morning
hours. I've turned off my network conntection, McAfee, my temp monitor and
anything else I can find running that's not necessary. Is there a log that's
created that might help me figure out why the system is rebooting?

Hardware is a Prescott P4, 3.2 CPU, Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, 2GB's of Ballistix
RAM, Seagate Serial 120GB HD, Windows XP

Thanks.
