My Dell Vostro laptop keeps on restarting when I'm busy using it without commanding it to do so. I'm using windows 7 for O.S.

What might be the problem? How can I solve it?

This sort of question is very hard to diagnose with this amount of information. You would be best served taking it to a computer shop to get it examined.

That said:

  • It could possibly be heat related. Are the ventilation holes blocked in any way when you use it? Is it under heavy load when this happens?

  • It could be memory related. Faulty memory could possibly cause this. Run a memory checker on your machine.

  • It could be driver related. It could be a faulty device driver. For example, if it happens during game use and it is not heat or memory related, it could well be an issue with the video card's drivers. Try to find a newer driver version (or older if it is the latest).

  • Many other reasons not listed here, including viruses and cosmic rays

Normally when I faced such issue it what Heating Up soon.

Just check if Fan at base(or wherever) are rotating fine... try installing some CPU Heat Diagnostic tools like: http://core-temp.uptodown.com/en

would advice to get it repaired if its Heating issue... delay could cost you a lot
