Right click on My computer>properties>advance>start-up recovery. Remove check mark from Automatically restart. Then remove cover form side of case, check to make sure your fan is spining on the cpu. Make sure your ram is installed properly in the dimm slots..

One thing for sure problems could be motherboard related. Pc Chips are garbage boards and are know for a lot of problems...

Send a message via AIM to Panama Red
Use DD5's advice to turn off the Auto restart feature. That will allow a bsod rather than a restart. Post back with the error message and we can help you find the source of the restart problem.
