Hello,
The restarts stopped for the past day or two, but then started up again. When I woke up this morning, my computer said 'No Sync Input,' as if whatever's causing the restarts also caused the harddrive to turn itself off overnight. In any case, my computer restarted itself again today, then a second time, after 32 minutes. I noticed there's a slight 'click' or 'chirp' sound that sounds like it comes from the front of the computer tower right before the computer does one of its restarts, though this is probably just a normal reboot sound, but last time it clicked about 3 times before it happened.
Thanks for your responses.

But since the actual files are missing, how do I get rid of these things? As for lack of power, how would I check that? There shouldn’t have been any changes in the amount of power supplied to the system, or in the way everything’s plugged in, between the months in which I didn’t have this problem, and the days that I now do. I didn’t install any new hardware or software prior to this rebooting happening. As for safe mode, the computer asked me if I wanted to do that after one of the times it restarted, but I’m not sure how to boot into safe mode without it asking? As for the multimeter, what is that?
Joeswm8:
I got ZoneAlarm Pro, and am still using it, but even after scanning my entire computer twice with its Anti-virus scan, nothing ever comes up, whereas Avast, one of the programs recommended in the malware sticky, always came up with infected file(s) after scans. But anyway, for all I know, it’s not necessarily a Trojan causing this, but maybe a lack of power like Bobo suggested, or whatever else could cause something like this.
Any further help would be great. Thanks.
