You sound like you may need a new power supply. Is your current PSU and AMD recommended one? If not change it out.......... I presume the computer is not part of a network...

One other thing though is that AMD cpu's run hot, make sure the CPU temp is normal, that can cause reboots too.

Other than that check in bios to see if wake on lan and wake on modem are set..if they are turn them off.
