So many problems, so little time. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif Could be many causes -- overheat, etc.

Heat. Take the cover off and run it with a small fan blowing inside for a day, see if that makes a difference. Clean any dust out of the inside, and make sure the fans are working, one on the power supply, one on the CPU. Some also have a separate case fan. All those should work. Spontaneous reboots are almost always caused by heat or faulty power supply. If the fan makes no difference, check into a new power supply.

Is the current power supply 300Watts or higher? If not, that's the most likely cause. Not enough power for your components.
