Question New PC, looking at event logger shows me lots of warnings and some errors

[MrCanEHdian]

Howdy,

I just built a new PC and when I downloaded EVGA Precision X1, the PC restarted on its own without my input and when I came back on it was downloading a Steam update. I wanted to see if I could find the reason so I looked in the Event Viewer in Windows 10 and I don't see where it restarted or the cause but I see a ton of warnings in the "windows logs" and then "system" option.

Is it a cause for concern to see warnings? Some of the event IDs are: 10016, 10010, 1014, 17, 27. From what I looked at, it's mostly the 10016 and 17 over and over again. Are these a cause for concern?

Why might the PC restart without any human input?

Event viewer will show a lot of warnings and errors even on a perfectly functioning computer.

So probably no biggie then.

Is the random restart a cause for concern? I apologize, I'm really anxious about PC builds, with all the money and time spent on it and all the components that could go wrong.

EVGA Precision X1 downloads are available as Standalone or Steam versions.

Other than New PC, you need a GeForce RTX, Geforce GTX 16 Series, or GeForce GTX 10 Series Graphics Cards.

Downloaded software needs to be installed. I doubt that would occur without user input.

I believe I found the culprit. Windows 10 will apparently do an update whenever after a certain time frame. So my time frame was set to 8am-5Pm where it would not do automatic restarts for updates but I didn't set my system time during setup because I didn't care about the time and so it hit 5PM which was around 10PM here and it auto-restarted... I'm almost certain it was due to that.
