Yes my fault. i actually posted a complet error message and was expecting a one shot answer as i thought this may be a known issue. I was also in a bit of a hurry to solve the issue as this issue was really annoying. when i got a reply that was in the right direction definitely but it would have taken a long time to analyze and arrive at a solution o i closed. sorry for being rude and the stress at work sometimes shows on you. extremely sorry.

The config does not look like you are using MSDTC for anything. And even if it is used, there is a very very small probability for MSDTC to be the reboot culprit. Additionally, MSDTC is never used on its own, a database application or service (MSSQL, ODBC, ...) has to use it to do something.
I assume you do not see any BSOD messages in EventLog. Do you see "unexpected shtudown" messages there at least?
