Been having a problem in Win 10 for month or more now. After my desktop has been on for about 5 mins, it will sometimes just reboot, no errors, blue screens. It loads again quickly and normally then will be fine all day and won't be any problem for days.

I use the whocrashed program that checks crash dump files and it reports there's no crashdump files but they are turned on.

The reboot is always the same, 5 mins from after turning on, no errors. I have automatic restart on errors turned off.

So any clues to a possible cause would be great.
 
I had already turned off automatic restart and there's no BSOD. It just restarts.
Looking in event viewer, under SYSTEM there's a few ERRORS listed under; Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM 10016. A Google shows this is common and causes no problems.
Also an EVENTLOG; The previous system shutdown at 21:58:44 on ‎17/‎05/‎2019 was unexpected.

I shutdown the PC normally last night?

DCOM errors are pretty normal.

Likely a hardware issue..

Would a hardware problem be more random? It only happens a few minutes after switching on and will be ok for days.

In EventViewer, Application, there's an error; Event ID 0 from source OVRServiceLauncher cannot be found.
Googling shows OVRServiceLauncher is something to do with Oculus Rift, which I have installed, but not connected or used for while. Now updating drivers.
