    I'm trying to determine more of what the problem is here. Could you check your event log---if possible?

    Have you EVER tried to overclock your computer, and are you running DDR PC2100?

    If you have, you may have damaged your ram, and thats what is causing your random reboots.

    Here is the error that is in my eventlog under system at the time of crash every morning.

    "The IP address lease ###.###.##.### for the Network Card with network address ########### has been denied by the DHCP server ###.###.##.# (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message). "

    I blanked out all the IP and MAC info.

    Are you running a router or is the DHCP server through your isp?

    If your using a router try setting it to renew IP. Also try going to start > run > cmd > type "ipconfig /release" without quotes and it should clear the invalid IP address.

    Does it not release every time I shut down?

    Not always, on one of my old wireless AP/routers the firmware had the renew IP forever broken and I'd have to keep releasing and getting a new IP everytime the router crashed or the power went out.
