System:
MSI G45 Gaming Motherboard
I7 4770k CPU
8GB corsair RAM
MSI 7950 Gfx
128GB ssd with Windows 8 64 bit
Bunch of other drives for extra storage
Corsair CX 800W
All air cooled.
If more specified model numbers are desired, just ask.
The Problem:
Virtually every day when I start up my computer, it crashes within 20 mins, usually after 5. But only the first time every day. So when I get home, i turn it on, use it a couple minutes, crashes (full restart, no error, no BSOD, mobo message about settings reset (need to check what it ACTUALLY says, something like F1: Enter setup, F2: Set all to default), I usually just enter setup then exit again to keep same settings, then the computer works fine all day (hours) until I turn it off, leave it until the next day, then the cycle starts again.
I was about to say I think it's a hardware issue, but really I have no idea. The CPU and motherboard is new, but I had them for about 2 months before this issue ever arose.
If anyone could suggest something to help diagnose, that would be great. Thanks a lot.
Edit: There are no errors or warnings in the event log BEFORE the restart, only after saying "Unexpected restart occurred".
