This won't cure your problem, as instead of restarting you'll likely get a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) instead, but the information displayed will allow you to trace your problem, or post it here!
If you still get the system rebooting and there is no BSOD then it's likely that your processor is overheating or your PSU is faulty.

Probably a hardware problem.
One fix always worth a try is removing and reseating the RAM. It isn't difficult and only takes a few minutes. Be sure to disconnect the power before trying it.
The RAM can work loose due to thremal cycling. While you are in there also check the CPU heatsink for accumulation of dust.
