Was doing some game art and suddenly my computer restarted before prompting something about a power surge had been detected on boot. At the time, I had a level I was working on in Unreal Engine 4, Modo (3d application) and chrome open with a few tabs.
The only change I made to the computer was I updated my video drivers to the latest Nvidia ones maybe 15mins prior to the power surge.
I opened the computer up to check for any blown components. Nothing caught my eye. I'm really clueless where to start and how to determine what could have caused the shut down. If someone could be so kind on running me through a checklist I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
