As title suggests.
Coming home the other day I find my PC started to restart out of nowhere, with no warning before or errors afterwards.
I haven’t changed anything and haven’t had this problem before.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Device specs:

UPDATE: Memtest got through 2 out of 4 passes in under 4 hours before I got fed up with waiting, which in itself seems a good sign since it didn’t restart there.
Event viewer showed one odd Event:

No idea why because automatic restart is disabled.
Dirty cpu filters can do this, especially in the spring (as winter brings extra crap in the air, and suddenly it gets warmer).
That would be more obvious if temps seemed off but there’s nothing that suggests that.
