Yes, it reboots from the beginning, and not with the normal windows desktop.
Now this only happens now and then, not all the time.

when did your pc start acting like that? i mean give us some info

With all of the Windows versions I've had its never rebooted even after hours in sleep mode.
I had a hard drive crash a few months ago after using Windows 7 for 6 months.
Its probably since I reinstalled Windows on the new hard drive that the trouble started.

So its been since then.

I've changed the power settings to display after 30 minutes and to sleep after 1 hour

Its not a problem to wait if it reboots, its just the fact WHY doe it happen?

Is your battery low when this happens? I know that when the battery hits a criticaly low level, Windows can shut itself down to prevent data corruption.

is it desktop or laptop

 

[aussiefly]

Its a desktop

Three things to try:

Update drivers. Learn more about drivers and have Windows automatically get updated drivers for you - Update drivers: recommended links

Change your Power Plan - Power plans: frequently asked questions

Finally, is this is a new issue, your can do a system restore to a point before this began happening.
