did this just recently start happening? if so, do a system restore. If its a new installation, then you might as well reinstall. There may be a program that is causing this that has been installed, or you may have automatic updates set to automatically restart after it finished updating. The BIOS could very well be set poorly, and you may want to change the power settings to the high setting just to see if it helps. You may not have enough power getting to the system. Is your Power Supply big enough for your system? You shouldn't need too much, but if you have too little, it can mess up everything
Basically, it can be a lot of things so the more information you give, the easier it is to narrow down our help | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron M5040 OS Windows 8 Pro with Media Center x64 CPU AMD E-450 APU 1.65 GHz Memory 4GB Graphics Card Built-in Radeon HD 6320 Graphics Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 Mouse Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 Cooling fan Hard Drives 500GB Internet Speed 2.86Mbps Download Speed, 2.85Mbps Upload Speed & 26ms Ping Antivirus Defender Browser IE10 |

And how to i check what kind of fan do i have? I think the only way is if you open your case and look at the fan. Chances are you have a standard fan that came wit the setup. They have better heatsink fans, and they also have liquid cooling that really will lower the temps.
