I have seen that a few times, however we have been busy enough that I have
not taken the time to dig into the issue, and it looks to be a while before I
could. The other item is it is intermittant.
However one thing that may help you avoid a reboot. Can you pull up a
CTRL-ALT-DEL window? If so you can pull up the task manager and force
EXPLORER.EXE to run, which will pull up the GUI, and avoid cutting the legs
out from under the system.
This has always worked for me on those machines where I have encountered
this issue. (I'd say off hand about 10 times or so).
