Unexpected Computer Restarts

I am experiencing unexpected restarts on my PC. I was using windows 10 when this started,  I rolled back to 8.1 just incase but the problem is persists.
I think one of my hard drives is malfunctioning but CrystalDisk shows "good" in the health box.

If anyone can help,  I will be grateful

@TurkarYash

A computer resets like that, without any errors, are generally caused by an overheating problem.

Check your temperatures using HWmonitor while running gputest and prime95.

It says critical -

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

the pc restarts even in idle conditions like browsing and watching movies

I did a stress test and a memory test which turned out to be pretty good

I checked that ,  the temperatures are good. Another thing,  the SMBus controller driver is not properly installed and I am not able to install it-I checked in the device manager.

What are the Errors around the same time frame as the Critical one.

Hey there TurkarYash,
 
I would recommend that you test and post the S.M.A.R.T. of every single storage drive that you have so we can check hte RAW values and tell you if the drives are OK or not. 
Do check your memory for memory leaks and if it's functioning properly in general. 
Also you can try a full stress test to see if any of the parts if faulty.
Have you checked the loads and temps of the computer if everything is within normal ranges?
It would also be a good idea to check your PSU with a Multimeter to see if it's performing properly and is not putting your other parts at risk.

File named restart is about the errors in the event logs

the rest are reports from CrystalDiskInfo

I'd still check the PSU if it's providing proper and stable power to the system. I'd also get the S.M.A.R.T. status of the SSD too. 
I'd consult with the manufacturer of the hard drives as I don't particularly like what the S.M.A.R.T. status shows. The guys from the live support should provide you with useful info on how to properly test the drives and tell you if they are good and if your data is at risk or not. :)
