Check your wires for any loose connections Loose connections can cause a flux in power that can cause a computer to reset If you don't have one already, get a surge strip to protect your computer Does anything else turn on or off when this reboot occurs? High power users like AC, vacuum cleaners, and power tools can cause a dip in power that can cause a shut down.
