There's really not much advice that anyone can give you without
considerably more information.

I don't know why you've obfuscated the URL in question, as that
URL would allow people to test the situation and (possible) give
you the exact reason for the problem.  If you have some legit
reason for not telling this list the URL, you're going to have
to provide a LOT of information, as well as tcpdumps of sessions,
etc...

I can tell you one thing ... it's not possible for your web server
to cause anyone's computer to reboot.  If this is really happening,
then the coputer that's rebooting is so broken that it would be
pretty silly to blame the problem on your web site.
