My PC is restarting randomly for past few months no matter its idle or is in use on WINDOWS 10.

I was using Windows 10 for last few months & also facing random restart problem no matter i play games or browsing or its on idle state. sometimes restarts after few hours sometime after few minutes of starting windows. i thought it was hardware issue so in these last few months i have checked with different parts one by one & nothing solved my problem. I changed PSU , HDD to SSD, tried with other backup ,bla bla bla. I have also reinstalled windows 10 but nothing worked. Suddenly idea came to my mind & made dual boot my PC with Windows 7 along with Windows 10 recently & within the last 2 - 3 days of using windows 7 i did not face any single restart problem yet & its good for me. But my search is still going on. i am using AMD APU Series processor & NVIDIA GPU. Is there any issue with Windows 10 with APU & NVIDIA GPU?

MOTHERBOARD: Motherboard A68HM-S1 FM2+

After every restart (or after a few restarts) does the time on the computer changes randomly?

You might want to change the CMOS battery (3V button sized) on the motherboard.

No it does not change and by the way motherboard is not even 1 year old. Restart happening only on windows 10. tried with windows 7 & running fine on windows 7 till now.

I uninstalled all my Windows 10 Version 1709 & Windows 7 both . Reinstalled fresh windows 10 latest version 1803. Previously I had installed windows with Native IDE SATA MODE which was by default in my motherboard bios so this time I installed with AHCI SATA configuration. Now everything seems good with windows 10 also. I don't know if previously Native IDE SATA configuration had any issue with windows 10 or not but it was running fine with windows 7, but now with AHCI everything is perfect .
