Hi,

Do you know is there any problem (fail) from the SQL server that can cause the Windows Server to restart?

Any application can cause windows to restart if it does something bad enough. Mostly now they only have access to restricted areas so will die and leave the rest of the system - but something like sql server will be doing a lot of disk access (for instance) and an error there could upset windows.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

There is no error show in the event log before the server restart.
Do you have any ideas how to trace this kind of problem?

If the server crashed, then there will be information in the event log. If you aren't seeing an error, then it is likely someone restarted it.
