It seems RAM problem. Check the RAM connection. Remove it, clean the slot and insert it. If not resolving, try another RAM.

The problem could also be in PSU, overall config drawing more power than what PSU can handle or even faulty mobo / reset switch!

What's the Wattage of your power supply (PSU)

My office PC behaved the same way and we found the motherboard to have gone faulty.

First try the kiran method.Otherwise it can be due to overheating cpu.Remove the cpu,clean it & then install it.Also If u have two ram modules try interchaning their slots.(It had happened with me).:)

Do you get any error message before ur system restarts.. or it just goes down without any message.. if is it so than overheating may be an area of concern... ensure adequte cooling in the cabinate..

Use thermal paste to keep ur CPU cool....

change the BUS that connect ur HDD to Mobo.. or try repalcing the same..

also ensure that pins to which u insert ur buses are OK on both the end (i.e. mobo and HDD ends)....

@wizrulz: Keeping the side panel open doesn't mean better cooling. In fact, the airflow in the cabinet is totally messed up.

Doesn't seem like he's got a hardware problem though...

To check whether its Windows or not, just don't let it boot into the OS. Press DEL or F8 to stop the loading of windows. If it still shuts down then its definitely a Hardware issue...

Guys Guys !! You should start from the grassroots level.
First, the software part.
No diff b/w genuine/nongenuine OS but I do not recommend installing WGA and antWGA patches which can mess things up.
Now, how long have you been having this problem?
Check if System Restore to a previous date (before the problem occurred is possible and try it.
If not try to remember if you installed some new drivers or software.
For instance, I can reproduce this problem on my system using old creative drivers or the Logitech Mouseware (always causes my system to reboot at awkward times).
Pesky malware or even an ovezealous firewall (like the norton, mcafee bloatware) can cause driver conflicts.
Are you having the problem on another OS.
Try installing Win98 or Linux.
If the problem persists on other operating systems then certainly, the fault is in hardware.
The PSU may be sending variable power or even the UPS.
If you are not using a UPS, then perhaps you may be having voltage fluctuations or maybe the socket may be shorting.
Now after these go on check your RAM or even your hard disk( may be developing bad sectors). Run checkdisk for the latter.
Then come see us again.
