The first thing to do in troubleshooting this behavior is disable the
"Automatically restart" option in Control Panel/System/Advanced tab/Start up
and recovery sectioon/Settings button. This will allow the display of any
errors that are occurring when the system fails.

Next, go to Start/Run, type: eventvwr.msc and press OK. In the Event
Viewer, look for any "red x" errors that coincide with the failure times.
Double click the error to display the details.

Let us know what you find.
