computer restart while using internet

That depends could be any problem but to test RAM i suggest running Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) for 2 or 3 runs and see if you run into any errors. Your PC could also be overheating so watch the temps with a monitoring program such as coretemp or hwinfo.

Mine kept doing this for a while and it was only when using IE8. No blue screen etc just powered off.
I suspected a virus and used many anti virus applcations to scan but none found an issue.
I reinstalled and it stopped happening.
