A couple of months ago I started experiencing random reboots without warning, they occur usually 1-2 times a day. There were no BSODs or any indications of a crash such as dump files (that I'm aware of). In Event Viewer I get a lot of 6008 and 41 Event IDs for unexpected shutdowns and reboots "without cleanly shutting down first" but other than that nothing I could see was out of the ordinary.
I concluded that perhaps this was a hardware issue as many threads online seemed to indicate so I booted the PC in Safe Mode to see if the random reboots persisted. The PC ran in safe mode for 5 days straight and then 9 days straight in two separate tests with absolutely no reboots. In my attempt to fix the issue I have reset Windows and deleted all files, I reinstalled drivers one by one and thought I had fixed the issue as the reboots stopped for 4 or 5 days but a few days ago the random reboots started again. I thought for awhile I had pinpointed the issue as graphics driver problems so I completely uninstalled all graphics drivers and then installed the newest Nvidia driver but the reboots have persisted. My Windows installation is also completely up to date.
Please help me, this issue is slowly driving me to madness.
