I don't know if the re-boot is after the system has fully booted up or not but I have once seen a system that kept re-booting as it was trying to boot up. In the end this was caused by a check box in the BIOS that was set to do something like re-boot if a network was not detected. If somehow you have managed to change this setting, it might be relevant? It's worth a try anyway. If your system gets fully booted up first of all then it's probably not this that's causing the problem.

Just a thought, but is your hard drive nearly full, if so then your swap file allocation area may be filling up.
