When I got up this morning I found that my system had restarted itself. I thought it was because of an update. I didn't find anything to indicate an update had been installed.
I decided to check the system event logs to see if there was anything there. There was. Critical error, Event 41. This is power related. I have the BIOS setting for a power interruption set to "Stay Off." However, this was not external.
This is the second time since I installed Windows 10. Windows 7 never did this. Both times I was running a number crunching console application which makes heavy use of the GPU. The CPU drops to around 1.5 GHz when there is no load and this process doesn't use it.
So, I am wondering what the deal is. There is no way to monitor the internal output of the PSU. I can monitor the input line voltage/amperage going into the PSU with a device I have. The input load only rises 20 watts when I am running this process. In a normal transformer system, wattage is a constant. However, a PSU is probably a different story.
I am looking for ideas as to where to start searching for an issue which might cause this.
