Incoming Remote Desktop Connection causes my system to power cycle

Using Remote Desktop Connection (from a laptop), I can connect to my desktop system and reach the Log On to Windows dialog. When I enter my account info and attempt to log on, the desktop system immediately power cycles. It doesn't go through any shutdown process, so I would guess some severe system error is causing it to reboot. Has anyone seen something like this before?

"Problems like this are sometimes caused by buggy video drivers in the remote machine. It's possible that the remote machine (desktop) blue-screens and that causes the automatic restart.

You could try updating your desktop's graphics driver."
