Hey guys,
My computer keeps on restarting at random periods and I have no idea why it does that.
Sometimes it may restart while on the startup screen, while i execute something or while i look through the files on the computer.
Here are the things that I've tried to do:
1) Check the RAM with memtest. No errors.
2) Installed a temperature program to check if it's overheating. It had a decent temperature of about 34 degrees.
3) Reformatted the hard drive, but it still restarts.

I deleted some of the specs because it went up to 150+ pages of info, and I don't think they're needed.
If you need any other information, please let me know.
