    I believe that the MS-Blast worm that came out a little while ago causes random reboots. You should try to get the patch. If you do in fact have the worm, just go to Run, type msconfig, and go to the startup section. You can stop the worm from loading when your comp turns on, and you might get enough time to find the fix for it online. One thing though, you shouldn't go into your registry and delete stuff unless you are 100% sure about it, because you can really mess up your system that way.
