Recently my Windows NT reboots for no reason.
I run a Norton's anti-virus program and all is well.
I downloaded the patch form MS for the latest virus
problem and nothing found.

I can run in safe mode and not crash.

Anything help would be greatly appriciated.

PS-Also not an expert in operating systems.

Hi, Ed.

As you probably know, many computer problems are just momentary glitches and
are solved by simply rebooting. So, Microsoft ships WinXP set to
"Automatically reboot" on "System failure". This often cures the problem,
but when it doesn't, we are left with no clues unless we know how to read
and interpret the Event Log. :>(

You can change this default setting. Go to System Properties | Advanced |
Startup and Recovery Settings. Remove the check from the Automatically
restart box. Next time, instead of rebooting, you computer should halt with
a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) full of codes. Post those codes here and
somebody should be able to interpret them and point you in the right
direction.

You said "my Windows NT" but, since you posted to this WinXP newsgroup, I
assume you are running WinXP, which is built on the NT platform.
