Nope. Virus scans find nothing.

How do I find out if its the power supply?

First thing I would do is get some cheese.  Set some next to your computer with a cage.

Beavers love the cheese.  That little sucker will come right out and bammo.

I don\'t think there is a way to test if its the power supply, but I\'m 90% sure its it. You can get a decent one for about $50-100 but make sure you get the one that goes with your motherboard. Open up your case (while its off) and look for the bands of wire that plug into your motherboard, if its 2 seperate plugs its an AT power supply if its one big plug its an ATX.

If a message pops up saying "RPC xxxxx something" than it\'s probably the virus/worm, else if it just reboot by itself with no warning, than it\'s likely to be the powersupply running out of juice. Do you have lots of cards and fans and gadgets inside ur PC? If you do, this reason is very likely.

Make sure you buy at least a 400W PSU.
