Restarting?
Hey,
My computer just randomly restarts every now and again and I don't know why...   Here's a screenshot of my temp folder that the files are apparently in...  Any ideas on whats wrong? Thanks.

How long has it been happening? Try doing Virus scans, Adware and Spyware removal, etc..
 Edit: It could also be a defective power supply.

I've ran a virus scan, defragmented, everything and it still happens... I don't know if could be, the one I have is a 400watt...
Any other ideas what it is? I tried deleting the things in the temp file and it says I can't because they are in use...

What brand of 400 watt? Did it come along with your case? Most PSUs that come with cases have a tendency to be low quality, and quit sooner than later.

Yeah, it came with my case... It says that there's specific files to blame though, would a new PSU fix it, I don't want to waste my money... it worked fine in my old case with the old PSU and that was about 2 years old...

Look at the sticker on the side and tell us how many amps it has on the 12V rail.

Generally, although not always, PSU's which come with cases are of low quality. You're going to need to monitor the power supplies' voltages and see if you notice anything strange (perhaps sudden spikes or something).
