Hi everyone, hope that you can all help me. Today my PC unexpectedly just restarted by itself after being idle. It did not totally reboot though as it got stuck at start up screen i think. It said something about something not found or detected so i had to reboot the PC for it to power up and log in.
After doing quick search online i found where someone said to check event logs which i have done so. Here are the results. I had a critical event and an error event in the last hour. Would really appreciate it if someone can help me in determining what is going on. Thank you!
This one is for the critical even:
