Random Reboots

I keep on getting random reboots. I have checked all the temperatures and they're all fine. I can't figure out why it is doing this. I got 2 yesterday and today I've gotten 4 within an hour.

System specs please. Include the power supply brand.

If you're using WinXP, did you turn off the Automatically Restart option in Startup and Recovery?

Your +12v is a bit high. It is also not normal for the CPU to be running cooler than the motherboard.

The high +12v could be either the power supply or the motherboard, but even at that voltage, it should not cause reboots.

Okay my CPU isn't cooler than my motherboard today, but it is about the same or just a little bit higher. However, my +12v is still 12.69 - 12.75. Also, I noticed that my computer reboots a few times in a row and then stops for the rest of the day. Would the CPU being cooler than the motherboard be the reason?
