This is really weird.. for the past few days I've been comming home to one of my computers to find everything running normally but strangely missing some windows that I thought I had left open.

When I came home today my comp was making a bit of noise so I turned on the monitor and realized that it was booting up!! What the heck?!

So, I conclude that my system is recieving some kind of stop error (win2k btw) and is initializing a system reboot automatically. Is there a program that I can install that will log what's happening on my computer when I'm away so I can determine the cause of the crash?

I just did a full system format recently too. So it's not a software issue.

Check the even log which I am pretty certain Win2k does generate - start>run>eventvwr.msc
(not 100% that it does, but it should).

You should then be able to find what is causing it.
