This sounds like what is happening to me. This machine is a AMD 486-133 w/ 24 MB RAM no funky drivers or anything.. it has NEVER rebooted like this before.. I don't know about the heavy network load I did some huge file transfers yesterday on our lan and had no ill effects. Well, well, well, what to do. -- [-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--=-] [ Damon Hopkins mailto: dhopkins@rtci.com ] [ Software Developer http://totally.schizo.com ] [ Research Triangle Consultants, Inc. http://www.rtci.com ] [ -- In search of the elusive 50 sided triangle. -- ] [-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--=-] Terry Lambert wrote: > > > Me too.
