This is only a recent occurrence, I can play games fine for hours and whole days at a time but then sometimes is just turns off and restarts again and i'm not sure what the problem is. I recently tried to update the drivers for my gpu through windows update, but they failed so I had to go to the website for them, not sure whether that is the cause or anything.
I was playing Arma 3 all night last night fine, and then this morning as its booting up it shuts down/restarts.
Happens randomly not just on games the event viewer has this logged:
