You should go into system control panel and un check the auto reboot in the advanced section.

alright did that..it stopped for a while..but today once at 4am and anotehr at 6pm the restarts started again...and i check and "automnatic restart" is still unchecked from when i did it...

Go into Device Manager > double click on "Network Adaptors" > right click on the adaptor > Properties > Power Management button > uncheck " Allow this device to wake up the computer" --- that's all.

ok..done it..thanks..what exactly does this do?

It ignores interrupts that come from the internet and wake up the computer (e.g. when Microsoft wants to install automatic updates - which they often do at night). But don't worry, the updates will come next time you boot the system.
