A guy here recently bought a Gateway that did similar things.  He
found that the problem was the "Reset" switch had a short in it, so
every once in a while a random vibration would cause the short to
take his work on a one-way trip to Hell :-(.

He suspected other things just because he was doing certain things when
the reboots occurred.  If you are heavy Windows user, then odds are that
you will be using Windows when the random reboot occurs.

Happy troubleshooting!
