EventID 41 will most likely say
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
That gives no explanation. It can result from a forced shut down, pressing the power button, or perhaps in your case, a hardware fault.
Please look at my earlier posts and @FreeBooter's and perform hardware diagnostic checks as suggested.
100% HW fault, there's no way (heavens know I tried) for windows to shut down computer instantly and without notice and residue. EventID 41 is generated at next BOOT. Even when windows shuts down a computer because of HW fault (overheating, overload etc.) it's logged and appropriate message is displayed. During my experiments with overclocking I get a lot of sudden shutdowns, it's piratically part of the process.
I looked to see what it said for those specific events. I'm not tech savvy at all, so beyond reading what it says, "The computer has rebooted cleanly without shutting down first," I don't know what to do to fix the issue or if this is the issue at all. Is this a possible reason for my computer randomly restarting? My computer restarted again this morning at 11:34 am. I was looking in the event log and there were five errors listed in a row at 11:34 that said, "DistributedCOM" for each of the five errors. At 11:33 it listed a warning about "The local adapter does not support an important Low Energy controller state to support peripheral mode." What does this mean?
Hi, ignore those. Please, as we've said, concentrate on testing your HARDWARE.
You can search for other means as well after trying suggestions above. Thanks.
I think I'm going to have to take my computer in somewhere. I have no clue how to do any of this.
