Perhaps your graphics card or CPU is overheating?

Those are the two main things that I can think of that would totally reboot the computer.

I would just check to make sure that you are getting proper airflow, and perhaps download an app that measure the temps of various components within your computer.

If FSX works just fine by fs2004 does not.... it is likely not a graphics card or overheating issue.

Sounds more like a corrupt install or missing texture file or something.

best,

hmm...didn't see the comment about FSX working fine, with FS2004 failing.

In that case, I would just go with what JBaymore said....a corrupt install.
