The first thing you want to look through is your Start Up folder and your Run and RunServices entries in your Registry. Disable each item, then reboot. If all goes well, then enable each item separately and reboot after each. When your computer begins to reboot over and over, you know that it's that particular item. If you disable the start up items, but still experience reboots, then you have to look towards your driver. I'd look to the video driver first. Make sure you have the newest drivers for all of your hardware. Boot into safe mode, and remove your video hardware from the device manager. Reboot, and reinstall the drivers. If it works, then it's solved. If not, try removing each peripheral in the device manager (followed by a boot into normal mode) until you get to the offending driver set. That should clean up your problem.
