I have same problem, and its not overheating problem. Its nForce3 chipset and my nVidia 6600GT AGP graphic card compatibility problem.

I actually don't have a nforce chipset only have only a soundmax ac 97 soundcard. I had a Geforce mx 4000 card was having the problem since then dumped it and put a radeon 9250 instead and the problem seema a bit more frequent. and if its an overheating problem how can I fix it?

I was meaning, that this is my problem (nF3 + 6600GT)

Like I prviously mentioned I recently changed my geforce card for a radeon card I don't know if that had something to do with the problem I had it since the geforce card but is alot more continuous since I changed them

I'm not sure what good this will do for a hardware problem.. Check out your event viewer.. assuming your running windows.. Often times random reboots are due to heat problems or a faulty PSU. Does your new graphics card require additional 12V power? I would avoid a complete reinstall.. but if your willing I'm sure everyone could use a clean registry.
