i left my computer running last night downloading 2 games though Steam, when i got up it was off, unexpected shutdown. This has been happening a lot and Ive been trying to fix it but not sure what causing it. i deleted all the logs before i walked away from computer before bed, no mini dump was created or in the LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG folder. I'm lost on the cause and I'm not sure what i need to do.

im still get alot of unexpected shutdowns, and there isnt any logs being saved. No minidmp file, folder is empty. i posting an XML file of the event veiwer, there is alot of errors and critical events over the last few days. i really need some help with this, i cant figure out whats going on. i can play games all day with no shut downs, but i leave it at idle for a little bit and it does an unexpected shutdown
