During the last week, my PC is rebooting more than half of the time when I
save a project (both when creating a new one and updating an existing one).
VS.NET crashing is one thing but I've never seen it cause an automatic reboot
before. I never install unknown programs and have run anti-virus,
anti-rooktkit checks to ensure malware isn't the culprit. I have many
minidump files from the crashes but don't know how to interpret them.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? I did install (and immediately
uninstall) iTunes 5.0 but surely that wouldn't be the cause.
I'll reinstall VS.NET as a last resort but don't want to have to reinstall
all the add-ins as well.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Problem solved. The latest version of ZoneAlarm was the culprit. Sorry for
wasting anyone's time.
In case this helps anyone... Turn off the setting to "Automatically restart"
upon system failure to see the driver that causes a crash. It's much easier
than using a debugger to read a minidump.
