Ahmed:
I would think the first thing would be a virus check - several of them lead
to the symptoms you are reporting.
After that check on environmental problems (excessively low humidity, for
example, is often a problem in the winter).. Has the location of the system
been changed recently?
Finally, I would check for hardware problems. If your hard disk is in the
process of failing, or your CPU overheating due, for example, to a failure
of the cooling system, this could also lead to random booting.
