Windows 10: EVENT ID 6008

Recently had a new computer built for me.


Ever since I brought it home, the computer shuts down whilst a program is running. Only 1 program runs when it shuts down. The whole computer just shuts down then about 5 minutes later it reboots. I've taken the computer back numerous times and the place who built it states they've checked everything but nothing shuts down when they have it. I have video footage of the computer shutting down and EVENT reports in Event Viewer. Can anyone help. Have called Microsoft but have been waiting for over an hour to talk to someone...

Event ID 6008, Windows 10 1809

Thanks for your reply Leocadia - I understand your suggestions thank you.

The point I was trying to make is our Win 10 Pro v1803 computers, log Event ID 6008 when an unexpected crash happens. However we have Win 10 pro v1809 machines that crashed when the power failed and did not record an Event ID 6008 so I was not able to tell
when the power actually failed, only when they were rebooted. - so my question is :- is this a bug in the 1809 release or by Microsoft design and has anybosy else experienced this situation ??

thanks Bob, IT Manager, Henry Riley LLP.

 

Event ID 6008, Windows 10 1809

We had a recent Power outage and I usually look for Event ID 6008 to tell me when the Unexpected shutdown occurred - I have looked at 5 PC's all affected by the power down and none have recorded a 6008, only 6009, 6005 & 6013 in that order.

I've simulated crashes and still 6008 not being logged.

This feature was active in 1803 but not being logged in 1809 - anybody else having this result ?

 

Event ID 6008

Hello

I have been having this problem with my computer. The screen will randomly go black, and the sound will loop right before it shuts off and restarts. Event viewer tells me that its "event 6008: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.
This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly" that is causing this. I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960, an i5 4690k 3.50 GHz CPU, Z97x-SLI motherboard, and 8 Gigs of ram.

Anyone know whats going on here? Id appreciate some help.

Thanks!
