I think Curt misinterpreted your post and if so, his advice will not help.
Are you saying that on its own, the computer is restarting? If so, your PC
is probably having a heat related problem involving hardware. Assuming you
know the basics about working inside the computer case, open it and clean
out the crude, make sure all connections are tight and that all fans are
working properly. If that isn't it, you will need someone who can do
hardware troubleshooting.
