Rebooting after entering password - Vista 64.

[torin3]

I've got a user who has been having his computer reboot on him. The problem seems to only occur when he enters his windows password after the computer comes out of sleep. He hits ctrl-alt-del and enters the password. It looks like it is working normally for about 15 seconds and then reboots. This doesn't happen when booting up the first time, only when coming out of sleep. Computer doesn't do this under heavy load. I've tried two different PSUs, and the inside of the case is relatively free of dust build-up. Anybody have an idea what might be causing the problem?

In the meantime, I've turned off screensaver lock and set the power settings to never put it to sleep.
