WinXP is shutting down as if someone hit the "Reset" button on the computer.
No warning, no error messages, no event log entries.
Maybe here are some clues. When logged on as Administrator if I shut off
System Restore and/or Automatic Updates and am running an application such as
Outlook when the systems shuts down and restarts, I find that System Restore
is running and Automatic Updates are turned on. It's as if everything I do,
such as updating the anti-virus software, is forgotten upon restart.
The system is about 6 years old, is running a Pentium III at 733 MHz.
I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to find the cause of this
unexpected shutdown.
