  what probably happen is that the computer is set to auto-restart whether it encounters an error.
  
  My guess now is your ram. Try to replace with a RAM tt confirms work one. Then see if there is restart or not.

  The way i know is to replace with a good working RAM to check if the restart still occurs.

  I think u should try to reinstall the windows, if u dun 1 2 try replacing the RAM 1st.
  
  BTW, btw u know there is a virus came out last year that also restart the system repeatedly....ad it resides in the Bios and not harddisk
