Perhaps it's a power issue? Erratic power can cause unusual behavior, depending on the type of bulb that you have you will not necessarily notice it. Unless you have safeguarded your power supply already.

Eliminate potential causes, e.g.
i. Open casing and confirm processor fan is spinning ok (if u cant see the blades, its fast enough)
ii. Check Device Manager to see if any drivers are labelled as not working properly
iii. Remove any new RAM chip, if you've upgraded recently
iv. Update your antivirus and scan, scan, scan!
v. Confirm if the restart is user initiated i.e. caused by something the user did; start the PC and leave it alone, see if it restarts by itself.
vi. ETC
