Random reboots could be due to several reasons. You might want to check:
1.power supply
2.heat
3.driver or drivers
4.IRQ conflict
6.hard drive could be failing

Is the machine rebooting, or is Explorer itself simply crashing? If it's just Explorer, then uninstall any third-party add-ins you've installed (Divx, WinZip, Winrar, etc.) that add themselves to the right-click menu in the Explorer shell (or modify the Explorer shell in any other way), reboot, and try to reproduce the problem.
 
Yeah just explorer is crashing, and I'm not getting random reboots/BSOD.
I think I have too many 3rd party addins.

One by one, reboot after each and re-test....

If you have DIVX &amp; SP2, start with removing DIVX.
 
They all change how Explorer works, and they have tie-ins that change what happens when you browse in Windows Explorer. Win Explorer works fine; it's only when you add a bunch of bad or poorly written add-ins that problems happen.
