RE: Computer suddenly reboots itself

Overheating is the biggest reason a computer shuts down or reboots. Make
sure all of your fans a spinning and the vents are clear. A slow running fan
will not provide enough airflow to keep things cool. Make sure the computer
has good airflow around the outside of it. Much of the heat is transfered
via the case and good airflow around the case helps also.
