I didn't realize that I had three topics on the matter,.. but alas - there they are:
Speculative Theory: SSD causes System power cycle
Windows Update: Rogue Reboot
CPU TempBut I think I have maybe finally come down with the probable cause... I think.
This box runs a AMD A10-6800k Chip - and had a stock cooler on it. I found a thread via I believe it was Tom's Hardware that mentioned that the stock cooler wasn't enough.
The system was pushing high temp - 150-180F and if I was really pushing the system - would be more like 200-220F. I wonder now if it wasn't hitting thermal limits and power cycling to prevent 'heavy' damage.
Well - Enter the GeminII S524 ver.2 Cooler.. Holy cow,.. it is about 4x the surface area as the original and have five heat pipes...
Maybe - just maybe... the issue is now really solved.... likely I should look at replacing the chip since it's had such a thermal cycling...

I'd give it a ride for a few days and see what happens.

I agree

Normal office work,.. Listening to FM radio on SDR and coding Movies,... Pushing the CPU and Cooler...

Wow why so hot even with the new cooler? Must be an AMD thing.

Those temps cant be correct. How is a gpu ever at 34F? That is 1-2C.
Especially on an apu.
