99.999% of the time, it's because your computer is overheating.

You might be BSoDing and have Windows set to automatically reboot on crash.

Like someone else said, check the capacitors on your motherboard. If they are bulgy or leaking fluids, it's time to replace the motherboard. Use http://www.memtest.org/ to check your RAM. If they check out ok, it might be your power supply.
ive decided to just build the thing from scratch, well not me, someone else will build il just buy the parts, till i have everything i need il just stick with this shitty computer
