spontaneous restarts?
Is there an error message?
If there is no error message, Sasser is not likely the cause.

Restarts can be caused by any number of things, excess heat is a big
cause.
Specific details on exactly what happens just before the restart can
be helpful.

> I recently returned from vacation to find this new worm, sasser,
apparently threatening Windows PCs worldwide.  Unsure whether my own
was infected, I checked the Windows update site, which stated, several
times, that my computer was not infected.  I ran AVG, AdAware, Spybot
S&D, and Stinger to check my computer daily.  I started getting
spontaneous restarts; knowing that this was one of the symptoms, I
printed and meticulously followed Windows XP Users: What to do if your
computer etc., incl. steps 7 & 8, install update, and check for and
remove sasser.  Again, no apparent infection.

restarts!  Three in the last hour!  I've given up on the radio--just
Photoshopping--same result.  Obviously there is an infection.  Occam's
razor suggests sasser as a culprit.  Having done all I illiterately
know how to do, I beseech any knowledgeable respondents to email and
enlighten me.  Please, I need to work.
