Random restarts can be due to a number of causes. The first one to check is that the OS is up to date with no viruses. Update all the drivers also (if not already done).
If you are using a UPS or an inverter between the PC and the wall outlet, disconnect it and connect the PC directly to the wall outlet. If it works then the problem is in the inverter/UPS,
If you are NOT using any inverter/UPS then the faulty is most likely in the PC's power supply. I suggest you first check that all the connections are secure and clean; still if the PC happens to restart then it would be better to replace the power supply as soon as possible to prevent damage to the motherboard and/or other components.
NOTE: It is better to replace than to repair in case of a power supply (SMPS).
CAUTION:Insulate yourself properly before checking any electrical equipment.
Is it old or screwed up? the fan that cools the CPU (processor) could be broken and it just gets really hot and it turns off the make sure your computer is not fryed take it to some compouter guy that knows what theyre doing and have then check on it
