Hey! Sorry if I am posting in the wrong area, I'm not the biggest computer guy and I am having some issues.

I own a Gateway Intel Premium laptop with a processor T4500 running on windows 7.

Randomly my laptop will restart, an unexpected error has occurred... I went to my logs and found this.

Log Name: System

Description:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.​
 
Oh well, that happens to me sometimes. Before the restarting, the mouse cursor and everything freezes and then that thing happens.
Unfortunately I cannot offer you any help as it's a mystery for me, too.
 
Does this random restart happen frequently? It could be possible that the power hardware is somehow acting up but its just a speculation from your error log.
