Anandtech.com front page causes my PC to reboot

Is anyone else having a problem where your computer reboots when the Anandtech.com front page is viewed?

There's no indication in the event log that there was a problem, only that it rebooted from a bugcheck:

"The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xe3bfa0b5, 0x00000001, 0xb70d9515, 0x00000001). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\Minidump\Mini102004-02.dmp. "

Anandtech.com's frontpage displayed just fine yesterday on the same PC. The problem happens with both Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla v1.6 under Win2000 Pro.

Thinking it may have something to do with Flash or some other plugin since it effects both MSIE and Mozilla. Just curious if anyone else noticed the problem and if they had already fixed it. Thanks!

With MSIE it reboots almost immediately, with Mozilla it seems to take a little bit longer to trigger the reboot.
 
Just to add to it, it happens on my office mate's computer too. Guessing maybe the lovely IT folks installed something last night thats causing the problem.
 
Happened to me twice last night @ 11 or 12 EST. After rebooting a second time, all was well. Very strange.
