Lately I've noticed that my computer tends to restart at random instances. Sometimes I'm just browsing the internet, other times it's when I am playing games, still others when I'm not even using it and I just leave it on. Many of the parts that I have installed a pretty new and I've kept an eye on the temp and it seems pretty normal so I doubt it is an overheating issue.
Also, I have noticed that on occasion the computer will not restart normally. After POSTing it sends me to a screen that it needs to perform the restart recovery or I can merely start the computer normally. Either option that I choose the computer ends up freezing before loading anything. I tend to be able to get the computer to start normally without freezing by unplugging the power supply for a few minutes but I would obviously prefer not to have to do this. Lastly, the last time this happened I was met with an "unexpected I/O error message" before restarting. I suspected that maybe my main HDD was failing so ran Western Digitals diagnostic tool but everything turned up normal.
What can I do?
