Hey.
I was just using chrome and my pc just froze for 2 seconds and restarted itself. Never done that before, so I'm a little panicked. No BSOD or anything like that. I checked system events and found out some warnings (DNS timeouts [I hope these are not harmful]) and this
EVENT: The previous system shutdown at 12:19:24 PM on ‎2/‎10/‎2015 was unexpected.

CRITICAL: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Source : Kernel Power Event ID: 41

Thanks in advance.
 


it does not necesaarily mean software issue ..the last time i got that message i had a bad Ram stick in my pc and had to replace it for my pc to stop having bsod's ...chrome usually uses alot of ram so it would naturally do that if you having failing sticks in the system
