On the hardware end look at the power supply. A power supply thats' going bad will do funny things like rebooting. A short in your power cable could cause real problems. Wake on LAN is another thing to look at if it's enabled. I also had a dead SparQ drive cause my machine to not boot on a cold start and I think it caused some reboots. If you fed a Gremlin after midnight you may want to check your kitchen :-D Remember if you had a bad power surge or lightning, and something got fried, home owners insurance "should" cover a new or part of a new computer :-) My mother in law got a new P4 with all the cool stuff after a lightning strike took out her modem and sound board.
