Hey guys!
Posting it under the motherboards, but I am not sure what is wrong with it.
This is 11 months old Ivy Bridge 3770K processor-based audio production computer- no gaming. It has:
Asus P8Z77 V-Pro with Thunderbolt (BIOS updated to latest)
3770K
Asus AMD 7850 graphics
Thermaltake 850 W Bronze PSU
Corsair Vengeance 16 Gb memory at 1600 Mhz
Intel-520, 240 Gb SSD
Toshiba Q- series 240Gb SSD
Seagate Baracuda 2Tb x 2 HDDs
The computer randomly restarts at different times. I only use this computer for audio recording (Cakewalk Sonar) for only few hours 3-4 times a week, but my event log shows between 10 and 20 events every month. It has events every month of the year. I do nt remember that many shut downs, But I often would leave computer unattended for n hour, and note that it is off, and I don't remember turning it off.
The major issue with it is that when it restarts- it kills audio software without asking to save, so any work I have opened is disappearing. I often record other people and I can not have it shut down in the middle of the session.
I don't know where to start. The power supply is Bronze- certified and Thermaltake is nice company... I need some kind of testing tool to figure out what is going on with this. Thank you.
