So i was uninstalling norton as I had recently installed avast. As I had norton antivirus 2003 I had to use nortons removal tool. I uninstalled norton, restarted. Everything seemed ok except it has also removed my norton firewall. So i was reinstalling that when in the middle of the install my computer restarted by itself and has been doing so every since.

I have no idea what did this. Though I'm sure it had something to do with uninstalling norton or using their removal tool. I've tried a couple things, started in safe mode and ran spybot, found nothing. Tried using the recovery panel to do chkdsk /r and fixboot but it still restarts afterwards. I'm assuming its a software issues since it doesn't restart when I go into safe mode...Does anyone have any suggestions or have ran into this problem themselves in the past? The OS is windows 2000 service pack 4.
