Random Restarts on Computer

[Simonnn]

I know this can sometimes be impossible to diagnose but for a little while now My computer has been randomly restarting. It happens after various lengths of being on and whilst doing different tasks, none of which are particularly high demand. Sometimes it can be a week between each restart, other times it has happened 2 or 3 times a day.

I've not changed anything recently on the hardware front, I did do a clean inside the other day to get rid of excess dust which didn't seem to make a difference.

I'm monitoring temperatures at the moment, all CPU cores are between 31-38c. GPU is at 50c

My comp is running Windows 7 64
[email protected]
4.00GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260
gygabyte DS3 or DS4 board, can't quite remember of top of my head.

The only thing I have noticed recently is I can hear my hard drive loading most of the time now, and the comp has had times where its taken a bit longer loading something?

Would anybody be able to suggest anything to start with? I know it can be hard to track these things down, I've got a uni hand in next Monday so this isn't what I need!

Thanks

Simon

Thanks for your help,

This is what I've found, I think the top entry was the time that it last restarted this morning. To be honest I don't know what any of it means though!

Thanks for that, I've tired that hotfix, see how it goes.
