A virus working in the background could cause the computer to reboot constantly. Run a good (and recent version) anti-virus program ... soon.

2. It sounds like it is overheating, you should either clean it yourself, or take it to a professional to clean it properly.

Should you shut off your computer before you shut down Windows Vista?

...if you shut off your computer.... you shut off windows along with it. Explain to me how you would shut down vista after your computer is off. That's a question worth asking on this site. The answer is almost as interesting as the question. The simple answer is 'NO', shut down Windows (whichever version) first, when it has shut down properly and it is safe to do so it will normally turn the computer off for you. Just turning your computer off with the switch can cause your hard drive to loose data - which you probably do not want. However if Windows has hung and will not respond to any typing, clicking etc you may have no choice but to do this anyway and just hope nothing goes badly wrong.

You will need to have the computer checked for codes. The light can not be "reset" until the cause of the trouble code has been repaired.
