Me too. My monitor would go >blink<, then .. memory test. Sometimes when I would get home, I would find that it had rebooted a couple times during the day. Sometimes it would run flawlessly for 10 days. Replaced memory, controllers, video cards, even disks. Loaded Virus NT a couple of weeks back and saw the darndest thing.

Found out that it would go away if I turned off the internal cache on the CPU. The reboots ceased -- defective CPU.
