Why does my computer reboots itself when I use it about 2 hours long? My
computer is Gaming computer so I must say that the fans aren't the problem.

Overheating, bad RAM, weak power supply. There can be lots of reasons
for this. Saying that your computer is a gaming computer so the fans
aren't the problem makes no sense and certainly you should not rely on
that "feeling". Troubleshoot systematically instead.

General hardware troubleshooting steps:

Standard caveat: Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out
suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing
yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
equivalent of BigStoreUSA). Have all your data backed up before you take
the machine into a shop.

I had a similar problem, except computer would just lock up after an hour or
two. Did the swapping thing. Found that one of my hard drive IDE ribbon
cables was the problem.
