So every once and a while (maybe twice a day) my computer will shut itself off, no blue screen or anything. Then about a minute later (I haven't actually timed it) it turns itself back on, in the meantime, I can't turn it on manually unless I unplug the power. The only error I get is after startup and it's just this:
SessionName Microsoft Security Client OOBE
FileName C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client\Support\EppOobe.etl
ErrorCode 3221225485
LoggingMode 5
I don't think that has anything to do with it, but I'll leave it here just in case.
I'm thinking it's most likely my power supply, but I just got it new a few months ago.

The psu I had before it was 350w, so I doubt it's because the power supply isn't strong enough.
It also didn't do it when I first got it, it just started doing this about a month ago.

It's not a huge issue, but I would still rather it not happen, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Could be the over temp protection stopping it or a faulty capacitor.

I remember back a year ago when I was using Win 7 it would wake up in the middle of the night for some sort of maintenance task defined in Task Manager. This was default behavior, nothing that I set up. IIRC I tweaked an advanced power setting. Look thru the power settings via Control Panel and see if something gels.
