Re: PC Keeps Restarting

Sounds like a software problem rather than a hardware one, as the rebooting is occuring at precise moments as opposed to randomly crashing/rebooting etc. I would suspect a corrupt boot sector, so it's just a case of popping in your recovery disc. Boot from the CD and perform a recovery repair installation.

Spot on. It's probably an UBV...
