Default Problem with "Stop Errors" and computer restarting

Okay I've had a big problam with my PC restarting every six to eight hours or so for the past two months. At first I thought it was because of some anti-spyware software I installed (I since then uninstalled it). But my computer continued to restart spontaneously. The Microsoft error reports said it was due to driver conflicts in the device manager, I snce them uninstalled any driver conflicts that were going on but the restarting continues to happen.

Okay now it says it's due to stop errors. This is the message I get from the error reports.

--------------------

Hey Joe,
The stop error 0x0000015 is due to an SCSI device not being recognized. I know that is not her exact error code, but it is worth a shot as it will not do anything if she does not need it.

Sorry joe meant stop error 0x000001E
