Then you can pretty much rule out a software problem.. does it BSOD or just freeze/reboot ?

just reboot without warning then a prompt to start in safe mode if i wish

No logs then.. cause there wasnt a kernel dump or anything.. and like I said I don't think your problem is software related anyway.

I would say your main culprits would be.

1) Power supply
2) CPU/Overheating
3) Possibly faulty ram although this is unlikely
4) Motherboard fault.

with 2 and 4 being the most likely out of them, you can monitor CPU temps in the BIOS so can rule that out. Remove any PCI cards that you can and anything else but the bare minimum to run the PC and see if it still crashes etc.
