I just built this computer recently, and I'm having an issue with it. At seemingly-random times - I could be browsing, streaming a video, playing WoW, playing Skyrim - it will restart suddenly. It does not BSOD, just does POST, beeps, and goes back into Windows. Thus far it's happened 4 times today in 2 hours. Three times with WoW + Firefox up, once with just Firefox. Last night I had only Firefox and HWMonitor up (temps less than 50C for all components) and it restarted again.
I ran a pass of Memtest86 and it passed with no errors. I have Windows booting from the SSD. I have not yet overclocked, though apparently I changed the settings from 9-9-9 to auto on the BIOS, though I changed those back manually and the BIOS log said those were the only changes made.
That's all I can think of. Any ideas on what to do to fix this? I'm also using HWMonitor and the temperatures never exceed 55C, which seems to be well within the appropriate range.
The computer itself is fantastic, runs incredibly well, and has no issue with running multiple applications and game mods... but it restarts without any warning (no slowing down, graphics issues, etc). Any help would be extremely welcome.
Note, for what it's worth: When it happens, the whole system just stops, fans and all and then it restarts instantly, POSTs and reloads back into Windows. I do not get a BSOD nor any error messages when it restarts (not sure if this is in W8.1, it was in W7 on my old laptop) and would say 'Windows has recovered from a serious error) or something.
Second note: I admit I'm a newb to troubleshooting, so if possible any specific points to check would be fantastic.
