I agree; it sounds as if some of your hardware is failing. If not the RAM,
it could be the power supply unit. Whenever you put a heavy load on the
system (running several applications) there is more strain on the power
supply and lack of power could cause the reboot. Could also be something
damaged on the motherboard (like leaking capacitors) or some other issue.
Consider taking it somewhere to have it checked out.
