I'm truly at a loss here, I'd suspect the motherboard - but that's an awfully expensive piece of hardware to replace on a hunch.
I'd run hardware tests on your hard drive and memory, then I'd remove all attached hardware that you can possibly do without. Then see if it reboots.
Also, check your Event Viewer for error messages around the times of the reboot (most likely in the Windows Logs...System logfile) to see if there's anything.
umm once i tried to plug the memory more in. didnt work. anyways it cant be hardware failure cause all runs fine on xp.
What about the Event Viewer logs - you can access them in XP, Vista, or Win7
umm it says there were critical error shutdowns. checked them already on windows7.
Please double click on the critical error messages. In the lower right corner of the windows that opens will be a button labelled "Copy". Use that to copy (and then paste) the error reports to your next post.
FWIW - recent information about these errors that I've seen in other posts, tends to suggest difficulties with the Video card (if it's a PCIe device) and the allocation of IRQ's in the OS.
Here's 2 links about this (although they apply to Vista, I'd suspect similar results in Win7):
The system may stop responding during restart when a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has a PCI Express interface
A "0x00000124" Stop error message occurs when you use the "hot plugging" feature to add or to remove a PCI Express device on a Windows Server 2008-based computer or on a Windows Vista-based computer
Hi guys, I know this is not a memory dump problem (but a memory problem ), but I don't know where else to post this interesting "bug".. To get to it, try resizing the WMP window several times when using visualizations.
This happened on the Windows 7 RC 7100 x86. Anyway not a problem, usually I don't use any visual effects, since I don't watch music, just listen to it :) But I think it's interesting.

I can't find any reference to a BugCheckCode of 292. We'll need to take a look at the memory dump file associated with this crash.
Most likely it'll be in C:\Windows\Minidump and will be labeled something like "Mini051609-0x.dmp"
Once you find it, change the extension to .txt and upload it in your next post.
