Does it give you the blue screen? I had this before, it may not be the same thing but it may the hard disk or it generally overheating in the computer. Im no expert though as you know.......lol.

Mine would just reboot every twenty minutes or so after Id had it on a while. You could make sure the settings for the screensaver and power settings are not set to turn off the hard drives etc. The 'wake up' function used to reboot my machine rather than just pop back into windows. I set them all to 'never' on the power saving features.

See ya

how old is your PC ?

have you run that PC bug Doctor and if so did you get all the shit fixed on it ?

adding to that and the fact you have IE hijacked, sounds like you have a virus, the shutting down is common for sasser.

read about it, get the removal tool as well and give that a bash.

If you cant find whats hijacking Internet Explorer of none of the programs work.

Use http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ its not targeted like Microsoft is. User that to browse the net
