Hi Joan,
Your system is most likely restarting as a result of a STOP error.
To stop this behavior and to analyse the error, try the steps in
this article:

Some program files are used by Windows, for example, the MSN
Gaming Zone folder contains a "Windows" subfolder which you
cannot delete as it's protected as part of the operating system. To
delete it would require using the Add-Remove programs applet.
