I hate to be the first to say this but it sounds like it could be a malware
problem.  I'd first look to see if you have an unknown program installed.
If so, remove it.  some of those shopper programs do things like you
described.  If that doesn't work I'd go to 
www.spywareinfo.com 
and find high jack this.  It's never failed to identify problem software for
me.  Play close attention to the endings of its entries and you'll hear if
one doesn't belong to the set of programs you install.  Example; you may
hear a bunch of meaningless numbers and letters at the beginning of an entry
but at the end you'll hear Symantec or Adobe which are program names you
recognize but if you hear one you know isn't yours delete it.  If you're in
doubt as to whether you can do this high jack this will allow you to create
a log you can send to someone who can.

Subject: [gui-talk] rebooting

I am having some rather strange computer problems.

I am getting rebooting only under certain circumstances.  When someone in my

family tries to resize a picture, the computer reboots.  Sometimes, when I 
exit a screen reader, the same thing happens.

I am also having trouble update Live messenger.  I get an error message for 
that.

when I reboot, I get a message that there was an unexpected shutdown, and 
Windows is looking for a solution to the problem.  Unfortunately, it never 
seems to find one.
