System reboot for no apparent reason

I'm not sure where to post this, and I'm not even sure
this is a software issue. One of our office PC's has a
tendancy to reboot itself at any given time with no
apparent cause. I do not work on the machine, and have
only been called in after the fact, but it appears to
happen at least once a day I'm told.
This is a newly built PC with Windows 2000
Professional. Has anyone had any similar experience with
either software or hardware? I don't believe she has been
getting any error messages either.

thanks...

Make sure that you're configured to get a memory dump and
that you're not auto rebooting (My Computer | Properties |
Advanced | Startup and Recovery). You might be bugchecking
but it's happening too fast to see.
