Computer reboots by itself

[mojaam]

Any known spyware, processes, drivers (dll) that makes your system reboots by itself? I think this only happens when connected to the internet too.

Lots of reasons this can happen
1/heat
2/bad ps
3/driver nastyness
4/bad motherboard

use process of elimination focus on heat first

Im pretty sure this is a software based attack. Will reinstalling the OS help?

Only if you choose to format the drive during the install.

Agree with above posts.
