Restarts - No Error Screen
Hey guys, I've got a really annoying problem that I've been dealing with for awhile and hope you can help me out.
Basically, sometimes when I try to load a game, or when I try to turn my computer off, it will just cold restart itself. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but most of the time. I unchecked the "automatically restart" option, and I still get no error screens, just a restart.
The only event logged is:

It was also restarting in this way when it would go into sleep mode, but I stopped it from doing so. I've updated my drivers to the best of my ability, I just replaced my PSU because I thought that might have been causing the problem, but it has persisted with the new unit.
Hopefully you guys can help me out, it's sort of harding trying to find information about this without any type of error screen.
Thanks.
