this is a weird one. you can try this tho.

try browsing the internet in safemode for atleast 30mins. (i know it would be awful to run at safemode for 30mins to browse the internet). check if you'd still get those random restarts even in safemode.


if everything is okay on safemode, there might be some applications/service that might be causing the random restarts. try to remove some toolbars/add-on from google chrome (i just assumed your using this because of the "google" tag).. I had problems with some chrome add-ons/toolbars too before as it eats a lot of my resources.

let me know what happens.
