@WrCombs -- did you go into Task Scheduler and look to see what jobs were there?
yes, nothing to suggest it would cause a reboot.
I have always just been informed that it only happens when they run a refresh on their front of house pos
which tells me its something with my software.either the software or the SQL db that is in use to update the front of house.
That doesn't surprise me in the least. Our old ERP requested/required a daily reboot after the backup... it was crazy.. but not my system to manage.

got a different error this morning on that machine .

edit
this happened 45 seconds before the reboot.
Looking back, this happened a few different times before reboots. -
I think I figured this out.
Aloha uses a ctlsvr (control service) to run the front of house.
it was set to log on as/.*user*and not local system, which would cause the Dcom error I was seeing above.. Right?I ran a refresh this morning after changing to local system and no reboot. no errors in the events log.

I closed the program and it started a reboot.
atleast no i can look more intently at the logs. -

I honestly don't even know where to look. I've uninstalled everything that wasn't needed to run.

We've had this discussion and he said " You just gotta keep looking. You want to give the customer and answer right now and thats not how this works. Keep looking."

No, the customer wants an answer right now. Very different things.

Could be hardware or software. Just replace the PC and install everything from scratch.
Or spend many hours on it and then when you give up, reinstall everything and after that didn't work, replace the PC and install everything from scratch.
