Spontaneous restarting

I had a SCSI hard drive go bad yesterday (not my system drive) and on every
restart, I got the :no operating system found" message. I have since pulled
the drive, but now after being in windows for about 10 minutes, the computer
will just restart. Any ideas?

Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, then in the Startup and
Recovery section click Settings and uncheck "Automatically Restart"

You should then see an error notification instead of the computer
restarting.

pull the card, it might be a bios fault on the card.

or termination problems now the drive is missing, unlikely as most
SCSI controllers now auto terminate

The drive is terminated correctly.
