Are there any printers installed on it?
I had server once that kept randomly crashing and it turns out it was a printer driver of all things.
No printers installed... but I had wondered the same thing as I found that on some forums.
It drove me nuts.
Kept rebooting the server in the middle of the day, randomly. It was awful.
Are you sure the spooler caused the reboot rather than a faulting driver not being isolated and caused the server to reboot because of a driver issue? I've witnessed print spoolers on servers crash many times and cause the whole list of printers to become unavailable, but that is about the extent of it.
Pretty sure it was the driver.
I think it was an older printer that maybe didn't have an updated driver.
I could definitely see a problematic driver causing a server to crash. If it isn't isolated, it could certainly cause the spooler to crash as well (but without causing the server to crash).
