Good idea !
Not really...
- he never did find out what was causing the reboots
- he is now running without a firewall
....so he's working now, but we're not sure if he'll stay working,
because whatever messaed him up before can happen again.
If it doesn't, then I share your congrats, but if it does, then the
troubleshooting he skipped for now will have to be started all over
again... searching for possible bad hardware that "messed up the
system files", or malware that may find it easier to attack now that
the firewall's down (hopefully he's using an add-on firewall instead?)
I'd rather be wrong than right on this one :-)
