Automatic PC Reboot Could Be Problem With Power cord loose connection,It Could Be Virus Overloading the system or problem with power supply,SMPS problem, due to voltage fluctuation ,even could be problem with UPS(EPS).

I rarely experience a computer or system crash when I'm doing something important. I mostly get a power outage and I really hate it when I'm in a middle of a documentation and I have a deadline to beat. My office computer doesn't have a UPS to provide emergency power during power breakouts. At home, I used to have a working UPS but I guess it needs battery replacement.

good for you.hehehe tell you it's never a good experience..hehe so keep back up files of be sure you have auto recovery on the computer. it's never easy to have that happened to you when you're in a hurry to finish something.
