Does it BSOD before restarting?

That sounds to me like you've deleted some kind of critical startup component. Try running it in Safe Mode, and see if it still happens.

Listen for beeps on startup, then go here to see what is wrong. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

I'm not sure what I am supposed to be listening for, or which BIOS type I have.

Beep errors stop it from booting up at all.
I have a computer which gives me beeps and a laptop that does the BSOD thingy. BSOD thingy is usually easier to cure (though I couldn't be bothered to fix it). If you can turn auto restart off, note down what kind of error you are getting from the BSOD.

Okay, so the BSOD said I might not have adequate disk space or to check for BIOS updates and disable caching and shadowing for BIOS. What now?

^That.

Seriously, though... You probably have a bunch of unnecessary crap that opens on start-up. Things such as instant messengers, updaters and other junk are usually set to open on start-up by default.

Uninstall the programs or change the "open on start-up" setting to free up some RAM. Then run virus and trojan scans to make sure there isn't something else hogging your RAM, as well.

Windows Live Messenger, Skype, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ(?), uTorrent, Frostwire, Norton AntiRAM.

Pretty much anything that didn't come installed the computer may do that.

I have an Adobe updater that bugs me constantly and I can't make it go away, but it isn't much of a RAM hog.

Could FRAPS cause a problem?

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

It's always a possibility, I suppose. How much RAM does your PC have?
