Windows 10: Display Shutdown Event Tracker? Where is it?

Ah, that I do understand, Wynona! Thanks! I've always been software, not hardware *Smile *Smile

Is the battery the only piece of hardware that is susceptible to heat issues? Stuff that might be causing the original reported issue? So far as I can tell, once I removed BOINC, I haven't had any unexplained restarts.

So the upshot is that even tho it's so rarely used, apparently the fact it is throwing at least SOME kind of heat related issues, it may well be time to swap it?

 

And I'm the hardware one ... I love building computers and adding stuff to existing ones. *Smile

From everything you've posted so far, and (whatever BOINC is) removing BOINC seems to have cured the issue, I'd hold off on replacing anything.

I would suggest that maybe once a week or so, that you unplug the computer while you're using it and let the battery drain until it starts warning you. Then you can plug it in and continue on with what you're doing.

Sometimes software can cause issues with hardware. Those issues are hardest to diagnose. But, just maybe, you've cured your own problem. Give it some time ...

 

That would actually work for me too, but software got to me before hardware *Smile Started out on Big Iron.

That's the now very old SETI community program, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It's still there, but BOINC (no idea what that stands for) has evolved to many different collaborative mostly scientific projects around the world, including medicine, and other sciences. It uses your machine during time frames you set to chew data it sends you periodically and later updates back. It's pretty cool, actually.

This makes sense to me, certainly can't hurt.
