Hi, first of check for viruses I would also say that u should check for spyware and malware using spybot. Get it from:
http://www.download.com
If nothing is found then its most likely some compatibility problem of ur programs and drivers. Check to see that all software is designed for your version of Microsoft Windows. Please check that ur drivers are also designed specifically for ur version of windows as that can cause alot of rebooting in Windows Xp and can lead to the blue screen of death in Windows Vista. If this works great but I think you should also visit Microsoft's:

Run their free safety scan and it should get rid of all viruses, spyware, trojans, REGISTRY ERRORS WHICH COULD ALSO BE THE CAUSE. Since its from Microsoft it wont mess up ur pc and beleive me after running this scan ur pc should be as good as new.

Some games could also cause this problem, find patches from them as well. On the other hand u can stop system reboots by doing this so that ur pc wont reboot with every simple error:
right click my computer
go to properties
click on advanced tab
on startup and reovery click settings
then uncheck automatically reboot
click ok to apply settings.
Hope this works for u. If it does please vote me best answer.
Good luck!
