right click on 'my computer' (your computer, if u may :-) ... properties, advanced, startup & recovery ... disable automatic reboot.
now, obviously there's a problem with your pc, check the event log ... but now it won't automatically reboot when the problem occurs and you have a chance to sort it out ... one of M$'s tricks to prevent BSODs (which they'd like to be history :-)
Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Do you get a little box pop up with an X and a count down to reboot?

These types of problems indicate a major failure during the boot sequence.
This could be due to a bad service or a bad software doing nasty things like Sasser for instance.
Since you haven't described the problem, just the symptom I suggest you start digging around to find the problem. The event log would be the first place I'd look for any errors that could indicate what is the problem.
