The type of "re-boot" would help to determine if it's software or hardware related.
There are 2 kinds, a hard boot, where the computer just cuts out then restarts, and windows where the computer actually goes through the shutdown process before reboot.
As I stated before, I just went through this. The computer might run for 1 or 2 hours then hard boot. Did this for about a month. Then it would hard boot, and hang. Until finally one day it wouldn't boot at all. The whole process was over about a 3 month time.
The final cause of this issue was the 4-pin +12 volt plug on the power supply. (Testing this is simple if your system has the 4-pin +12v, open the case, turn the PC on and watch the CPU fan. If the fan starts to spin then quits unplug the 4-pin connector and try. The fan will spin up. And no, you can't run without it.)
