My PC Restart 3 times in 4 hours.

I have installed fresh XP but problem have not solved.
I have full scanned my PC with Avast and Malwarebytes but there was no virus or trojan.

And how are we supposed to guess the hardware components you use in your pc? If you do not know, google and download cpu-z, click on validate and post the link here.

even i think this is most probably a PSU problem... or over heating... open your cabinet .... vaccum clean it if its dirty & check whether everything is connected properly & not lose

it seems you havent solve it yet with all above methods.
check your psu with your frnd system and see if it restarts or not.
