Windows 10: Daily restart

Morning everyone,

I have a desktop machine that is rebooting very often, almost daily but not quite. I was wondering if this was maybe a RAM issue, so I did a RAM diagnostics which manage to complete 4 passes, no errors. After 40 hours I decided to start testing other items. I did a CPU test using Prime95 for about 3 hours and everything was good. CPU throttled down due to heat, it reached 79f. However system remain active with no issues. I am currently testing my GPU using FurMark. Temperatures are high but not unsafe, i've even tried a GPU and CPU stress test at the same time. Computer operates no problems.

Reboots/BSOD happen when i am away from my desk.
Ideas or tips are welcomed.

:)

 

Daily Unwanted Restarts

Ok, just ask and we will go step by step.

For temps monitoring, I like HWinfo. download and install (link was here before). At start it will ask you if running only sensors, check yes and run



Find Temps/ Core max and GPU, click them and graph will show.




You can show it in system tray too. follow like in the picture below

 

Daily Unwanted Restarts


HP Notebook-17-P161DXP Notebook, Windows 10, Purchased March 2016. On a daily basis, this system will restart at least once, regardless of what I am doing. It will, for example, restart while it is initially starting up, or, just sitting idle, or composing an email, or doing a crossword (entering text) online), using wordpad etc. Once it has restarted, it seems to be good for the day ! This did not happen for the 1st year or so.

I have researched the "Random Restarts fixes for Windows 10 listed on WEB, but to no avail.
I use AVAST, and MBAM Premium and scan daily, don't think it is caused with Malware.
