a computer at a company i work for constantly will reboot on its own for no specific reason. even if people are not using it at the time. the screen goes blank then the computer continues to boot up again. what are some common causes of this.
 
if xp:

start -> control panel -> system -> advanced -> startup and recovery "settings" -> uncheck "automatically restart"

should give you a blue screen (if that's the cause..which is usually it)

if not...check heat and/or power supply

 
i opend it up and there was an ide cable right in front of the cpu fan which is on the pentium 3 i think but its a slot cpu whatever it is. so i moved that but it still happend so i dont know if heat is the issue. its a pretty old computer so maybe ill try a different psu to see if that has any affect.

and the os is win2000 server
