It could be due to a faulty power supply. I had one of those to deal with a few months ago. I took the PC home for a long test but it would not go wrong. Took it back to the owner and it started restarting randomly again. Put a test meter on the 5v line and it was all over the place - seriously undervolt. Smacked the PSU and it jumped back to 5v (which explained why when I took it home, jossling it around, it behaved itself for a time).
Anyway, got a new PSU and all was fine.
