restart :(

Hi!
My computer all of a sudden restarts! Any suggestion?
Thank you!

Check for a virus or trojan on your system. There was one
going around recently (forget the name) which would restart
your system from time to time.

A restart problem can be hardware and heat related. Check for fans not
working, loose connections or cards, dirt buildup, etc.
