[pchelpers] mysterious reboot loop

Hey guys,
This morning my computer went into a reboot loop out of the blue. It kept
trying to restart most of the time not even getting to the first P.O.S.T.
beep and rarely getting beyond it. I kept turning it off and waiting a
minute or so then turning it back on and it continued looping. Then the
problem went away on its own and the computer successfully rebooted. If this
happens again and doesn't stop I will not know how to handle it since it
gets nowhere near a dos prompt. I don't think overheating is a problem
because my fans are working and I have the side access panel off. Any ideas
why this happened?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
