Try looking in the System event log ('Control Panel'->'Administrative
Tools'->'Event Viewer' then click System) to see if that sheds any light on
the crashes.

Assuming you are using Windows XP:

Try opening 'Control Panel'->'System'.
Then 'Advanced' tab->'Settings'.
Uncheck 'Automatically restart'.

Next time you should see a blue screen instead of the computer rebooting.
See if this helps you solve the problem.
