Re: My computer goes on and off ( Reboots, restars)by itself,

Tight click My Computer and choose Properties | Advanced.
In the Startup and recovery section click Settings.
Uncheck "Automatically restart".

Next time instead of restarting it will show you a blue screen. Copy the
error information and give us that, please.
