May I suggest you download and run a little proggy called Prime95 in
stress-test mode. I have a feeling your PC isn't stable due to insufficient
vcore, bad RAM or similar. If Prime 95 fails to run for a few hours try
Memtest86+ from a boot-disk to just test your RAM.

I tried the Prime95 torture test and it rebooted within 2 minutes.
Yikes!  I ran Memtest86+ for 2 hours, 7 passes, with no memory
problems. 

If it's not memory, CPU or temp, and it's not the hard drive, and all
other programs seem to work fine then I can only surmise that it is
something funky in software. It must be WinXP.
