It could be anything. Not enough information to go on. What were you doing when it happened? Have you had any other problems recently? What are your complete system specs?

Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer and read what it says happened at the time of the restart.
Post that back here.
It could be a one time deal or you could be about to have major trouble.
