"Random reboots" of Windows is an indicator of automatic rebooting upon 
a Blue-Screen-of-Death (BSOD).  You can check for this by disabling this 
option:

1)  Right-click on "My Computer".
2)  Select "Properties".
3)  "Advanced" tab.
4)  Click the "Startup & Recovery"'s "Settings" button.
5)  Uncheck the "Automatic Restart" checkbox.
6)  Click 'OK' a bunch of times.
7)  Wait patiently for the system to crash.
8)  Record the "STOP" message and the 4 series of hex digits that follow.
9)  Search Google for the _exact_ STOP message.
10)  Look for a link to MSDN Library (msdn.microsoft.com) for 
information on the STOP error.

HINT:  I had a similar problem (would reboot even on boot up) until I 
upgraded to WinXP.  I quickly found out that the problem was related to 
some really ancient drivers for a piece of ancient hardware that I 
always installed on every machine I've ever owned.  Old hardware and 
Win2000 (or newer) don't mix.  Win2000 has a harder time figuring out 
which device is causing the actual problem than WinXP does.
