I seem to be having problems with my pc at the moment, every now and then it will randomly reboot. checked my temp settings to see if that was it but it seems to be running at 37 degrees so i was wondering if someone can help me please

You could also run Memtest+86 to see if your memory is OK. Has this just started happening, and if so is there any new hardware/software you have installed recently?

Another couple of possibilities:

Possibily dodgy motherboard? I had one that resulted in my computer shuting down seemingly randomly for over a year before i replaced it only to have the next problem hit me 5 months later

Anything conductive rattling around inside your computer? I had the CPU heatsink come off and come in contact with my graphics card resulting in intermittant faults
