Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category
Error 3/3/2016 3:05:05 PM EventLog 6008 None The previous system shutdown at 3:03:08 PM on ‎3/‎3/‎2016 was unexpected.

... also theres a critical one:

Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category
Critical 3/3/2016 3:05:01 PM Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power 41 (63) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Sounds like CPU overheating, remove all dust from the heatsink which is located ontop of the CPU. If it's a stock heatsink + fan, then it's small, and you may need ear swabs to remove the dust. If it was your RAM, you would blue screen.

random unexplained and varied crashes and BSOD's are symptoms of a failing PSU, what are your full specs? I had the same experience as you myself and took months to work out it was the PSU as it can cause so many different problems

you wouldnt, a PSU only has to play up slightly to wreck havoc on a PC, although that one looks pretty decent? how long have you had it and did it come with the 5 year warranty?

About 2 years now ... and only one year of warranty unfortunately !

A warranty of only 1 year on a psu is extremely worrying, a decent psu comes with a ten year warranty, your psu was only built to last one and a bit years, how much did it cost?

I bought it new from a local vendor.
