I'll come up with a couple of starting suggestions....
What is the PSU wattage.....
Do you have adequate cooling...
Is the LPT (parallel) port enabled in the BIOS settings...
Sudden reboots are often caused by overheating.... look at 1 and 2 before
you move on to 3. At least 420watts... suggest even 500 for your system.
