You may have a virus of some sort.  Run a virus scan.

Answer 2

Hi there

Are you getting any kind of message before it reboots?

It could be few different things but i think its your CPU is overheating.

It sounds like a overheating problem CPU or RAM. Open your case while your computer is OFF and then turn it on and make sure your fans are moving.But it could be a virus also.It could be alot of things even your power supply.

Good luck

Answer 3

it sounds like you have a virus of some sort, do what the other guy said and run a virus check.....

Answer 4

Perhaps the fan which cools it isn't working properly. Perhaps switches off because it's overheating?

Answer 5

Mine kept doing it. I thought it was a virus. Turned out my Ram cards had worked loose. I pushed them in tight - but make sure you don't short circuit yours..
