My issue was hardware related as well. One of the newly-installed RAM chips was bad and after extracting it I havent had one unscheduled reboot.

All machines here were built by a local shop for us, and all have identical hardware, except for developer boxes, which have additional RAM and job-specific software. The problem went away after the shop replaced the motherboards on the offending machines (fortunately, under warranty :-)).

Should I be replacing hardware first (bad ram chips, hd, etc), or seeing if a software conflict is the cause. The machine will (not 100% reproducable, but enough to be damn annoying), reboot without warning and without any kind of error log except for the minidump log generated, which is cryptic at best. Obviously no one can give me any kind of hard diagnosis without specifics, but should I be concentrating primarily on hardware or software as the culprit? There's nothing out of the ordinary on the machine, certainly nothing Ive not put on any other machine: Office 2000, Visual Studio Enterprise SP5, Winamp, InoculateIT PE, etc. Anyone ever have to deal with something like this?
