Occasionally reboots

I have a computer that occasionally will begin to reboot when I am in the
middle of, well, anything. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to this
happening. It doesn't matter what software I am running when it happens.
Any ideas or similar experiences.

Running Windows XP Home Edition

If you installed one of the Windows updates that can attached to an
email from Microsoft or appeared on a newsgroup, you have a virus.
Microsoft NEVER sends updates as an attachment to e-mail or to a newsgroup.

BTW this newsgroup is for questions and discussions about a database
from Microsoft called Access.

If this is Blaster, the infection wasn't made by downloading running one
of the bogus "updates" -- those are Swen, which doesn't have the same
rebooting behavior, AFAIK.
