computer shuts down and restarts whenever it wants

Hi,
I have a Dimension L 667r desktop that shuts down and restarts at random.
The screen will just goes black, then it will restart and go through all the diagonistic stuff as if it hasn't been shut down properly. There seems to be any rhyme or reason as to why it decides to shut down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

    if you recently installed any software you may have gotten a virus. try running an antivirus program to see if you may have a virus. after i put The Sims on my computer, the cdrom would pop out and go back in and repeat for a couple of mins and then shutdown. i uninstalled the sims and found out a patch i downloaded for the game had a virus and that was all that was wrong. im not sure if your problem could have anything to do with mine but i would suggest just trying to run Norton or any antivirus program to see if you have one.
