How old is the PC?
Have you ever had any issues with the power supply?

I would start at the power supply once you have eliminated all Software/Windows update possibilities.

Sometimes if a power supply is going, not enough of the rail voltages present will trigger a reboot.

it may also be a piece of spy ware several spyware apps cause lockout and restart issues because it over loads task manager with tons and tons of bogus apps and causes system crashes run Ad-Aware free edition
