I am wrestling with the same issue at the present time. I've tried

off the automatic restart in system properties.

I would suspect a power supply problem or an over heating processor but
then again I don't get any indication that the computer did not shut
down any way except normally.


Considering your PC *starts* without your intervention, I doubt it's overheating problem. Unless you messed something up in BIOS, You might try putting your components in another case and see if it's happening again, maybe your power button is getting stuck somehow and this starts the computer.
