Well, system does not do a shutdown abort. Oracle finds a problem and then instance aborts.
A few things you can do here.
(1) See if a trace file is generated around that time in user_dump_dest or background_dump_dest that might provide clues. If you see a core fiel in any directory named core_* in the core_dump_dest, it has cored dumped.
(2) Start the database from command line. From NT services panel, make the services OracleServiceXXX manual, from automatic. Then reboot the box. Start the service manually and then see what happens in the process.
(3) Start the instance and service in a command prompt window using oradim comamnd. I am not sure of the options; but the oradim command gives a help.
At some point you would hit a problem that is decipherable. Please let us know what came out of it.

ver 8i NT4.o
all services have been set to automatic and start fine
however the NT Event Viwer and the oracle "alert.log"
show that the instance being shutdown just after the
box boots up.
how do we rectify this problem ?
below is from the alert.log
ORA-205 signalled during: alter database mount exclusive..
Shutting down instance (abort)
License high water mark = 5
Instance terminated by USER, pid = 144
---------------------------------------------------
please note: the shutdwon was not initiated by any admin
or user but done by the system itself after the box boots
up.
