Is there anyway to find out why my pc has suddenlly started to reset itself?

I know there is an event viewer? can someone explain?
 
I have auto restart unticked. I have worked out how to use event viewer, and I have one red error, but it wasnt when it restarted.

I do have this though...

A provider, OffProv11, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\MSAPPS11, but did not specify the HostingModel property. This provider will be run using the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user requests. Ensure that provider has been reviewed for security behavior and update the HostingModel property of the provider registration to an account with the least privileges possible for the required functionality.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I think this might be when it restarted?

Or it could be caused by perfect disk scheduler as I notice ot said started just before it crashed.
 
Thanks for the reply, sorry i been at work.

The problem is I dont get a blue screen, but lately I have had 2 resets. Once I was listnen to something on media player, and I heard a couple of pops from my speakers and it reseted. The other time the pc was just sitting idle.

I'll keep an eye on it to see if it re occours.
 
My resets seem to have stopped (touch wood) dunno what was causing it. Done loads of tests on my hardware, it could have been my hard drives either getting too hot or dodgy sata cables. Anyway its stable. :)
