Hello! My first thread here :)
So here is my problem which I seem to not be able to solve on my own. Once every day after first start up my pc decides to reboot, and it seems to be quite random at which time it reboots. Can be just when I enter windows or after 20 minutes. Then the power goes back on for a sec and it tries to start but then in an instant reboots again and then it runs fine for the rest of the day. I have not done extensive testing on different components and since I dont get a BSOD I dont really know where to start and since it only happens once a day I can only test one solution every day 🙁 .

My first thought would be that it's related to windows updates. Try going into settings, update and security, windows update, advanced options and changing the "Choose how updates are installed" to " notify to schedule restart" so it doesn't just restart whenever it wants after performing updates.


That may not be the problem though, so I'd also go to the product page for your motherboard and install all the listed windows 10 drivers. Then do the following:

Also, remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes to reset the EFI hardware tables then put it back and restart.
