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 and I have recently updated my BIOS to the newest version. Any guidance in resolving this issue is very appreciated.
