Windows 7: sudden reboot while away from pc

brianzion · 05 Dec 2012

i was away from the pc for about two hours and when returned it had re-booted im not sure if it blue screened i just had the desktop with a notification window letting me no pc had recovered from a serious system stop. but have found the minidump file if anyone could be kind enough to look at it for me the screensaver is set to come on in 5 mins of inactivity im wondering if this may be the cause.

You are welcome, Brian, but you might need to work a lot to find out the real issue here, sometimes it is tough
