My computer reboots at random times. I have tried
different hard drives and the problem persists. Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
I know this sounds weird but I had the same problem and it turned out to the
power supply. There is a switch on the back that toggles between 220 and
120. It might be red(ish) and possibly sunken in but it should be there
none the less. If set to 220 (which mine was) whenever there is a high or
low enough power spike the power supply shorts the motherboard and causes
the reboot. Check there...

You can try this just so you would have more information to work with
Click on start right click my computer. Choose properties
Go to the advanced tab
Click on the settings button for startup and recovery
Uncheck the box Automatically Restart
The next time the problem occurs you should get a blue screen. Please post this information.
 
I had the same problem, sometimes it would do it 6-8 time
in a roll, than it would be 1 or 2 weeks before it would do
it again. To keep it short what it ended up being in mine
was the south bridge on the motherboard. Sent the
motherboard back, they (MSI) sent me a new one. Put it in
and no more problems, been 6-8 months now.
