System randomly shutting down.


we have windows 2000 server (sp4) randomly rebooting system shutdown error, initiated nt authoruty\system:

"the system process 'c:\winnt\system32\services.exe' terminated unexpectedly status code 128. system shutdown , restart"

i have run several virus/worm detection tools, including ms malicious software tool, finding nothing. found ms article relating bogus share permissions seems indicate server reboots on startup. not happening. server reboots randomly once or twice day. there 1 share on server , looks ok in registry anyway.

nothing shows in event logs @ time of restarts apart usual last shutdown being unexpected.

it's possible may client or other network device causing problem site has several hundred pcs/laptops/servers.
can suggest if there's way troubleshoot - maybe kind of logging or performance monitor counter see causing problem ?  realise w2000 end of life suggestions welcome.

thanks
