Check the system logs

Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer>System

your computer probably bluescreened, but the default setup for most windows machines is "reboot automatically" rather than display the bluescreen. go to Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab. click on Startup and Recovery. unclick Automatically Restart.

the next time your computer "reboots," chances are, you'll see what's causing the error instead. (take note of the bluescreen, e.g. IRQ_NOT_LESS_EQUAL, and google it for possible solutions or post it here and we'll try to help).

it sounds like faulty hardware to me, but you'll need to post the results in order to be certain.

yes, it could be a PSU problem. what is the wattage of your current PSU? you could consider upgrading.

if you want to test the ram, use memtest86 -- you can find it through google.

check the temperature of your CPU as well (in the bios, or through a program such as mbm5). it may be overheating.
