I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem I was having with ads popping up or not. If I leave my computer alone long enough(usually about an hour or two), it restarts itself. It doesn't seem to happen while I am actively using it. But when I leave it sit there doing nothing for long enough it restarts itself. Any tech savy people here have any suggestions?
As was said above, it sounds like your computer might just be getting old. This tends to happen with older computers. Another possibility is that you have a virus and your computer is shutting itself down to prevent the virus from damaging your computer. If so, then it could quite possibly be related to the ads. You may want to try scanning your computer with some virus protection software (if you're on Windows, I recommend "Avast!" and suggest you schedule a pre-bootup scan since in my experience they are more thorough. The free trial version should work just fine as it has eliminated some Trojan viruses from my computer with no problem).
