So I've been having this problem for a while now, and it's getting rather annoying especially when im in the middle of a game or watching a movie and my computer just restarts.

When the computer restarts, it restarts normally. Loads up the windows 10 logo, asks my to enter my password and reboots per usual, no error messages or anything. The times it resets is completely random, and my PC is actual cool and running fine. I have stable high FPS and it doesn't heat up that much, although it is 2 years old and I build the pc myself (first time ever).

Here are the specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K @3.40GHz
RAM: 8GB
Graphics card: AMD RADEON R9 280x
My power supply is 750W
Windows 10, 64 bit.

If anyone has any advice, or needs more information please don't hesitate to reply!

Okay, so if nothing is in the eventvwr, then that means whatever is happening is something that Windows cannot necessarily track, which is usually hardware.

Start with your RAM, remove all your modules but one and play with them and test them out and see how your system runs. Bad RAM modules can cause this type of behavior. Let me know how it goes!

Do you see a blue screen before it restarts?

Head into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer. Open the Windows Logs>System directory and scroll down to the last point when it restarted. Do you see any errors there?

The last things I see are just WindowsUpdateClient.

The only error messages are: The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID.
