Check the fan on the graphics card. On the ATI 9600 XT i had the fan went and was causing the computer to lose power and power back up. | |

Could be a number of things. If it still does it then try it without the graphics card. If that doesnt work then scan your HDD for errors? What software have you got installed? | |
