Olmost every morning I find my PC rebooted with the windows has restored from ... in the middle (chek for solution does anything). Olso from my midnight staying i noticed that this happens always around 3 in the morning. The PC has amd athlon 760k with gigabyte MB /can't see the excat model now/ ,recently added gtx 960 ti ,8 GB Kingston ram ddr3 and 1 TB Seagate HDD. Before that had gtx 650 ti and had minor problems but not anything like that. Pretty much the problems started after upgarding the GPU - random lag and blue screens. The PSU is 650W so it has enogh power. Cheked the HDD for bad sectors with the defragmentation option and the cmd one - said 0.
I reinstalled the windows and upgraded all drivers but it doesn't stoped the crashing. Is there more realible program to chek the HDD or anything else that can cause this?
(1 note for 2 yeas the PC is running olmost 24/7 nonstop and before each crash some stuff get lagi for example the kmplayer tonight laggged)
Olso I haven't overclocked or anything - even keep my CPU most of the time at 60% tops with AMD catalyst.
Any help is appreciated :)

You did the right call by re-installing the OS. That said, if you just re-install all the drivers and it's still happening then it's likely that there's a bigger issue here. Based on what you're telling me it could be a compatibility issue, which is pretty tough to pinpoint.

I'd recommend you start by re-installing the OS, and either use a VM or use Rollback rx (the latter of which is free) to test the drivers. Especially with Rollback you will want to take a snapshot of your system before you install an update or driver. If after that you're still getting issues then just go back to a previous point and just test newer updates as they release to see how it responds.
