PC Restarted Randomly

[frederick356]

Hello everyone!

 

After turning on my PC after it being off for a few hours, my computer randomly blacked out (lights off and everything) and started up again, after logging into windows. I just wanted to ask if this is a  major problem and what I can do to fix this. I want to take on this problem before it becomes a huge one.

 

My Build

Mobo: Asus Z170-AR

CPU: i7-6700K

Cooler: Corsair H100i V2

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3000mhz

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB

GPU: EVGA 980TI SC

PSU: EVGA 1000P2 1000w Plat rated

 

I hope you can help me! 

Thanks so much!

Sounds like a Windows update.

That's the sign of a trademark windows update, folks.

Check for any BSOD Bug codes and check when the last windows update were installed.

Seriously? No warnings or messages at all? Just a straight up reboot?

There were no BSODs and the last update that I installed was on August 8th

But the last update installed was on August 8th. Unless it was an unofficial update?

I don't know about unofficial updates, but this has happened to my computer and several of my mates' with no negative effects. In fact, I haven't had it since.

How did you know for sure it was a Windows update?

Because this is a common occurrence on Windows 10 systems. Just check your update settings and make sure it can't do it without your permission.

Well it happened again at the same exact time (after signing into windows). So I have no idea what it could be.
