 I had the same problem with a Olivetti M28. The reboot happens one or twice   
 a day in windows 3.0, Quick pascal etc... I scanned the disk with virscan
 but apparently, there is no viruses. I have the machine since 4 years, 
 and the reboot problem appeared two or three weeks ago.
 
 Thanks for help !
