Most likely causes:
1. There's a family of viruses which can cause this.
2. Overheating
3. Faulty RAM. Reseat RAM sticks, run RAM tests, try removing one if there
are 2 RAM sticks.
4. Stop error. Set computer to not reboot automatically on stop errors.
Then you can see what the error is. It could be hardware-related.
Power supply and mobo are less likely causes.
