Leo, if after a random re-boot occurs, a Windows XP message pops us that says, “The system has recovered from a serious error”, and the Error Report Contents window shows a couple of files in a …\Locals~1\Temp… folder, does this mean that the random re-boot was probably caused by a software glitch? Is this an indication that a hardware problem probably is not the cause? This has been occurring recently about once or twice a month. Anti-malware scans are all clean and I have not installed any new hardware for a long time. Thanks…

My brother had this problem. It turned out his computer manufacturer had created a bunch of tasks in the task sheduler to reboot his computer every day at specific times. I know this may be a bit far fetched, but it might just solve the problem.

I installed another OS, Ubuntu, and the problem continued.
Does that mean I'm looking at a hardware problem?
