You could try a Linux Live CD that doesn't install anything on the PC. Boot that up, and keep it running around the normal reboot time. If it doesn't reboot then maybe confirm by booting from Linux and leaving going as the PC normally would as see if it reboots.

If it still reboots in both cases then maybe there is something in BIOS, if only in the second then it may be a heat sort of issue that build up and kicks off at that time.

Also are there any other timed events in the house around that time that may cause the PC to reboot due to power spikes/drops?
