Eagle, anything's possible. IMHO, doubtful. A far more likely culprit in my view is some sort of nasty. There's one about in particular that causes continual reboots. Seems it can be cleaned in safe mode if I recall correctly?

if it isn't a bot or virus (you might want to do an online scan at trend versus assume your AV is working), then it is more likely RAM or your PSU than a HD. A HD would generally lock up but not restart.
