And it was happening on a Novell Unixware 2.03 box. The problem was the the chip fan would randomly stop and allow the Pentium chip to heatup to a point that the machine would reboot or lockup completely. Since the fan was still working randomnly it made things tougher to troubleshoot. If you machine is rebooting on weekdays only and at the same time of the day, it is more than likely a process/program that is causing the problem and not a hardware problem.
