I recently checked my event log and theres a huge list of warning, error, and critical events.
Most of them just say

IsDegradation : false

or

Windows has shutdown:
Shutdown Duration : 12764ms
IsDegradation : false
Incident Time (UTC) : ‎2011‎-‎11‎-‎14T03:51:07.977101900Z

I have no idea what is going on when my computer shuts down or starts up. Heres some more

All that was just in one day and there was more. I have also been having a problem with playing games, my pc randomly restarts its self when playing mw3 or skyrim. I debunked RAM as being the problem but more of the power supply being crap. Help would be MUCH appreciated! Heres my rig

Asus sabertooth 990FX motherboard

This info pertains to win7 self diagnostics you may find helpful.

I would suggest you to use the performance troubleshooter on your computer and check if it lists any issues -

You may also refer to the below links and use the steps provided to check for issues-

Also use the Windows Experience Index and check for the score it lists for your computers -

any chance you're running multiple monitors? i get these errors with a i7-3770k and two HD7770s. I'm running 3x1900x1200 and 1x1900x1080, all as extended desktop displays, and nothing i do clears these errors. My guess is the Desktop Windows Manger (dwm.exe) struggles with such a large destktop, and/or AMD drivers aren't built for it.
