Sounds too me like two issues either defective memory or a hd that may be starting to go. There is utilities on the web that can test both. Usually defective areas in a memory module cause the PC to lock up. I have seen a bad HD cause a pc to reboot, but usually the "Blue screen of Death" comes up first.

Could also be the motherboard I believe Asus had a history in the past of bad capacitors on the motherboard. Look for caps that appear to be bulging at the top. this is often a dead giveaway.

Oh.. and for every computer nerd out there.

Ya Alot of times, the instant off issues are heat. Open up case and blow out dust bunnies. The CPU cooler usually gets pluged solid over time
