Our old one has a similar problem. When we turn it off it just restarts. So we have it on sleep or unplugged a lot of the time.
I've searched on the internet quite a few times. There seems to be no concrete answer. Some say dust build up and others say its the power cord. I'd take it into an apple store to get it fixed unless someone here knows what's wrong.
