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.

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.
