When you say unexpectedly are you sure its just not overheating or something? And how often does it do it? and does it like restart meaning it goes back on without you turning it back on?

RE: Windows Vista restarts computer unexpectedly..

it sounds like its trying to go to sleep, and failing. try changing power plans to "high performance." Start > Control Panel > System & Maintenance > Power Options > "High Performance"
