Windows 10 PC restarted -- don't know why

[Fenway16]

I was online this a.m. and all of a sudden a window came up on the desktop saying, "restarting". I checked my updates file and nothing had been updated by windows. Where do I look to find out what was going on. Like what was updated that required a restart? Thanks.

Thanks for that information.

How can the original poster figure out what went wrong and how to fix it?

Dig through event logs more correlate that with log file based on what is found. It's not really a cut and dry set up steps to follow

But why? The system continues to run fine. I just don't get that.

Interesting that the warranty expired on Nov 18 and this "system failure" occurred on dec 22. Didn't take long.

Any input @Neemobeer?

I ran a diagnostic on the Dell site - everything passed except the web camera - I have it covered with black tape.

It's probably nothing to worry about unless it starts happening more frequently

Thanks for that. I'll let you know if anything goes awry again. Counting on everything prob ok. Cheers.

Are these complete loss of power restarts? Temperature issues very rarely cause reboots, usually suffer thermal throttling long before a shut down.

Usually this type of issue is PSU related. I have no idea about the quality of PSU. Please check the health of your PSU.

How do I do that? Thanks. Also It hasn't happened again.
