XP Randomly Reboots

My mums WP Pro install randomly reboots, usually while I am on another PC that uses it as a gateway for a cable modem connection.
I look at the Event Viewer, but nothing looks obvious, is there a way I can save the events and post here
Where else can I look for clues?

 

Hello Silverwork,

There is a export list option on the second line of the viewer's tool bar - run the mouse tip over that line. A dialog box will open to - in my case - My Documents, and asks for a file name for a .txt file which in turn than will be printable and can be copied/pasted. The original log file extension is .evt

If you want keep the system from auto restarting:

Go into Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Startup and Recovery settings > uncheck Automatically restart.

To post events, open the event you want then click on the icon below the up/down arrows. That will send a text copy of the event to your clipboard.

You can either paste it directly here or put it into a notepad document and save the document so you can post later.
