  • Is it the SQL Service restarting or the whole machine being rebooted?

    Is this part of a cluster or a standalone machine?

  • If the server is getting rebooted, check the System Event Log which should have more details.

  • I think the error you're getting is "fallback certificate initialization failed"

    I've never heard of this error myself, but it seems that it's not uncommon[/url]. It may have something to do with the security settings for your service. I'd look there first.

  • A server reboot is usually a sign of hardware failure, i.e. overheated processor, power supply, or even something even more simple.

    Please review the event log for more information.
