Random system restarts... bye bye CPU....

This must be because of two simple reasons:

Bad motherboard

Bad drivers

Well, one way or another, seems this one might only be destined for my bin. :(

Not always. I've had things as simple as poorly installed drivers do that to me. Back up and do a fresh install. Couldn't hurt. (or are ya rootin' for a new machine)

Spyware or viruses can do it too. Are you getting any outlandish temp readings or anything?

I fixed that problem with a friends pc which restarted loads just by upgrading the Motherboard's Bios. I would look into that.
